Formatting a Smart form

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have made some changes to a smartform and the changes are being displayed correctly on the smart form. However, i need to format it to look like below:

a  a
b  b
c  c

When i do it, it looks like below:

a a
   b     b
c  c

I have made changes in the text element declaration but i amnot able to align it. The a b and c are not one below the other in line.

Does this have anything to do with not having MS office installed on my system?should i use a smart style?

Hi Neena,

Check if you are using any pragraph format or character format whicle displying the text element.

In that case, please check if your pragraph format or character format has got any left margin.

Use pragraph / character format without any left margin.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

I observed that if I put the same number of commas in between the text fields, each row will have the same space between the columns. For Eg:

<N6>a,,,,b,,,,c</>

<N6>a,,,,b,,,,c</>

<N6>a,,,,b,,,,c</>

<N6>a,,,,b,,,,c</>

and i get the print preview like this:

a b c

a b c

a b c

a b c

But one problem I am facing here is that when i pass values to these they aagin get offset. Is there any way I can stop this?

Smartforms can be formatted by Smartstyle where you define your tabs distabnces you can you the style to do the same or you can create a template for the same if data is fixed else use table

Hi, i guess the best way is to use templates .

Create template in your smartform and draw rows and columns and assign corresponding location in the template rows such that you can achieve your required output.

Hi Neena,

You better click on the editor button and use SCRIPT editor.

in that use can give your default paragraph type and give your text properly.

Hope this helps.

just condense before passing that value. or use the justified paragraph format or use &XYZ(R)& etc.
