The Forms Node

The Forms node () is a placeholder for all Form nodes that you add as subnodes. In its Settings window you find the following settings for the appearance of forms:

Appearance

The settings in this section define the text used in the forms that you add, but you can also choose not to inherit the settings to specify a specific style in a form.

From the Text color list, choose a text color: System (as defined by the operating system; this is the default), one of the predefined colors, or choose Custom to define a color using the color palette that opens.

From the Background color list, choose a background color for the forms: System (as defined by the operating system; this is the default), one of the predefined colors, or choose Custom to define a color using the color palette that opens.

From the Font list, choose a text font: System (as defined by the operating system; this is the default) or another font in the list. You may need to choose a font that supports the characters in the local language that you are using. If needed, choose or enter a font size (in points) in the Font size combo box. The default is to use the System size for the font. By default, form objects inherit the font and font size from these settings.

Under Applies to new form objects, select any of the Bold, Italic, or Underline check boxes to make the text appear in any combination of a boldface font, italics, or underlined by default in form objects that you add to the form.
