Text Area

If you want to input more than one line of text you should use a Text Area rather than a Text Field.


Add a Text Area:

Text area dialogue

  1. Position the cursor where you want the Text Area to be.
  2. Click the TArea button on the form palette to get the dialogue box above. This dialogue allows you to insert a text area (a scrollable area in which the user can type more than one line of text) into a form.
  3. Specify values for Form Tag and, optionally, Initial Text.
  4. Optionally specify the Area Attributes: Rows (number of rows) and Cols (number of columns).
  5. Click OK, and the text area appears where the cursor was positioned.
