To create a table from existing objects

If you have an existing form that includes field objects formatted as a table, you can easily convert them to a table. For example, the Bill of Lading template that comes with Designer includes fields formatted like a table.

1. Open a form that contains fields formatted like a table.

   For example, start a new form based on the Bill of Lading template. Select File > New and select Based On A Template. Click Next and then select the Bill of Lading template. Click Next and finish filling in the New Form Assistant.

2. Drag the objects that you want to convert to a table.

   For example, select the header row and body rows but stop above the Terms of Delivery and Insurance section.

3. Select Table > Convert to Table.

   Note: You can convert any group of fields to a table. For example, in this same template, you can convert the fields under Shipped To and Shipper to a table.
