Cell


Font, Size, and Type Style:

If you wish to change the appearance of text in a particular cell, simply choose from the options listed. You can alter the font, font size, and formatting (e.g., bold, underline, italics). This will only affect the appearance of the cell you have selected and will not change the formatting in any other cells on your form.

Memorize and Extra Choices:

The cell menu also allow you to establish defaults for your form. The Memorize feature enables you to set a cell's value to a default, this default will be entered into the cell each time you add a new record. To set up a default for a cell you must first enter the default value and highlight the cell. Then select Memorize from the Cell menu. Confirm that the value you wish to set as default appears in quotes (e.g., Memorize "John Wagenleitner").

In addition to establishing default values, you can also define a set of choices for a cell. For example, you may have three (3) account numbers, one of which you use more than 60% of the time. In this case you would want to memorize the account used 60% of the time and set the other two (2) as Extra Choices.  To do this, select the cell for which you wish to establish choices (i.e., Account) and select Extra Choices from the Cell menu.

You may enter as many choices as you wish, but in this case we are entering two (2). To add choices simply type them in and click Add. Click OK when finished. Now when you enter that cell during data entry you will be presented with a pop-up list of your choices.
