FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not support the insertion of form objects. This means that you cannot create new forms with it, but you can still use existing forms.
You can insert form objects into your tables to create forms.
The following types of form objects are available:
▪Checkboxes for enabling
▪Radio buttons for selecting from among multiple alternatives
▪Dropdowns for selecting from an expandable list
▪Listboxes for selecting from a list
▪Pushbuttons for clicking on
▪Spinners for increasing/decreasing values via a mouse click
▪Scrollbars for increasing/decreasing values via a mouse click
▪Labels for static descriptions
▪Groupboxes for visually grouping related items
Form objects always have a Result cell. This is the cell which holds the value that the form object returns. You can specify which cell this is for each individual form object.
If, for example, you insert a listbox with several entries in it, 1 is displayed in the result cell when you click on the first entry, 2 when you click on the second entry, etc.
This chapter contains detailed information on working with forms. It consists of the following sections:
| The first section covers general information on working with form objects. You will learn how to insert, edit and evaluate form objects. |
| The second section contains detailed information on each individual type of form object. |
