Filling In Forms

Entering Text and Dates

How fields accept text, how MicroFit squeezes in extra text, the date picker, and what you can paste.

Typing in a field

Click a blank, also called a field, and type. Check boxes toggle when you click them. Press Tab to move to the next field.

MicroFit: fitting more text

When you type more than fits in a field at the normal size, MicroFit reduces the font size for that field automatically, down to a minimum of 7 points. Once the field is at 7 points and the printed space is full, it accepts no more characters.

There is nothing to switch on. MicroFit works as you type, in every field that supports it.

Entering dates

When your cursor is in a field that normally holds a date, a small calendar icon appears to the right of the field.

  1. Click the calendar icon.
  2. Click a date in the calendar.
  3. Click OK. The date replaces whatever was in the field.

You can also type a date directly.

Copy and paste

You can paste text copied from another program into any field: click in the field and paste as usual.

You can also copy text out of a field and paste it into another field or another program.

Tip: For wording you use often, store it in the Clause Library and paste it from there.
