Chapter 7: Databases and Data Sources

Form Design

Forms in OpenOffice.org

In some situations, a user may want to create a document that contains some fixed text, but

allows others to enter some items and perhaps take some actions on those items. Such a

document is called a form, analogous to the preprinted forms everyone has filled out dozens

of times. One can create custom forms in most of the OpenOffice.org applications; forms that

one creates without using the Form Wizard do not have to connect to a data source (though

they can -- see below). If the form isn't connected to a data source, any information the user

enters is simply saved with the form. (This method is handy when sending a form to a group

of people for them to fill out and return.) Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw all support forms.

To create a form, start with a document in the appropriate application. Click View >

Toolbars > Form Controls. (In some cases, one may have to add the button to the toolbar

first.) The Form Controls toolbar (Figure 1.) appears. The toolbar includes an assortment of

controls that can be put on forms, as well as buttons for managing the form as a whole.

As with the other toolbars , docking it is an option. When designing a form involving a

number of controls, this can be a very handy feature.

Most items on the Form Controls toolbar are controls. Others are a variety of options for

working with forms and controls. Most of them are discussed later in this article.

To add a control to a form, click it on the Form Controls toolbar. The cursor changes to

crosshairs. Click and drag the new control to the location desired.
