Text Form Field Tool
Text Form Field Tool
The Text Form Field tool is ideal for numerous types of forms and documents. This feature is designed to assist you when you need to perform repetitive text entry tasks.
To navigate inside a form, first create the Text Form boxes and then place them in the appropriate locations. After placement, you can quickly move the cursor to each Text Form box by using the Tab key. All text that is entered into the Text Form box may be formatted in the same manner as it is in the regular Text box.
The Tab order of the Text Form boxes may be arranged and edited using the features of the Document Layout palette. (See Using the Document Layout Palette.)
To Use the Text Form Field Tool:
- Create your form.
- Select the Text Form Field tool.
- Click and drag in the document location to create Form Text boxes.
- You may now jump to each form text object by pressing the Tab key. You may Tab in reverse order by pressing Shift-Tab.
To better track Form Text boxes, we suggest that you apply a name to each box. (See Data Tab Settings for more information on naming objects in Canvas X Draw).
To Convert a Regular Text Box to a Form Text Box:
- Select the regular text box and then right-click to open the context menu.
- Select Convert to Form Text.
To Convert Form Text Objects to Normal Text:
Right-click the Form Text box, and select Convert to Normal Text.
