The Form Designer

When you open a form from the Library Browser, the Form Designer opens. The Form Designer features a standard toolbar and series of tabs. Use the Form tab to design a form and use the Preview tab to review its appearance.

This graphic shows how you use the tabs and panes in the Form Designer to design a form.

Description:

Form Structure: The bottom of this pane shows the structure of your form. Drag and drop form elements to the pages of your form from here.

Form Pages: The layout for the pages of your form appears here. Click a control to edit its properties. For forms with multiple pages, click Back and Next to view other pages. Users can also click Next and Back to view the form pages.
