incidentally, the check box
in step 5 can be replaced with
the text field/box.
Since it is a form, you might
have a need to use all of the
fields, that is if you are going
to get fancy with your form....
Hello,
It is a little tricky. But with a little
practice, I think you'll get the hang of it.
In Microsoft Products, there are always
several ways to do the same thing.
However, I think the below may be
a easier to comprehend, rather than
to take short cuts, like an expert.
Firstly, it involves that you display forms
toolbar. For argument sack, type this
line of text as an example.
Hello, my name is . How are you today?
1) Place your cursor after the word "is"
2) Next on the forms toolbar, click on the drop
down icon, this will place the box where
ever you have the cursor.
3) Next, on the forms tools, click on
options, this will bring up a
small dialog box. In it you can
add your lines of text, click add
and populate the list view.
One line can be databaseben
and the other can be john.
(All other options in the dialog are
not necessary at this time.) Then
click ok or close (cant remember which
is provided)
4) Next, place cursor after the question mark.
5) Next, on the forms tools click on check box.
6) Next, on the forms tools click on the lock symbol.
Now your form is ready to select our name in the line.
Once you select a name press the tab key. The cursor
will jump to the check box, which takes the focus off
the list box and makes the border invisible.
The check box serves no purpose other than taking
the focus off the list box so when you print the form,
the lines are invisible. So when you create a larger
form, you can place the check box at the bottom of
the form somewhere.
Also, you can have additional list boxes as well. But
be sure to include a check box to remove the focus.
As mentioned there are better ways to do this. But
I'm basically a little rusty.......
Hi
I am trying to create a letter template in word and am stuck. I work in a
library and have to produce overdue letters, and want to include at certain
points in the template the ability to choose between two different phrases.
The person who was in the job before me had produced a template where there
was a field with an arrow, and I could choose between the 2 phrases "if these
books have" and "if this book has" etc. I'm not sure how she did it and would
appreciate any help. Hope this makes sense.
