The Forms Wizard


Click on the Form Wizard to create form stationary. The Form Wizard then prompts you to select the type of form you wish to create. Select one of the entries from the list that matches what you desire and click on Finished.

A pre-defined "default" form will be created for you. It is usually easier to change a form that has already been created rather than create one from scratch. However, if you want to create a form from scratch untick the Standard Lay-Out check box before you click on Finished. A completely empty form will then be created, ready for you to "drop" objects (such as boxes, columns of information, etc.) onto it.

Available forms include the following:
