Adding form instructions to your form design

Now, you will add text to your form design to provide instructions or communicate what happens after a form filler completes the form. You will also provide instructions for the person who approves or declines the mortgage.

To add instructions to your form design:

  1. In the Object Library palette, in the Standard category, drag the Text object onto the form design and position it below the logo, 0.5 in from the left margin.
  2. Double-click the text and type After you complete this form, one of our representatives will contact you within two business days..
  3. In the Hierarchy palette, rename the Text1 object to AppInstructions.

    Now, you will add borders to the text.

  4. Select Palettes > Border. The Border palette appears in the lower-right corner.
  5. In the Border palette, in the Edges list, select the default Edit Individually.
  6. In the upper border upper border icon and lower border lower border icon lists, select Solid.

    A quick way to create another set of instructions is to create a copy of the first set.

  7. Select Edit > Duplicate. A copy of the instructions appears slightly below the original copy in the form design.
  8. In the Hierarchy palette, rename the AppInstructions[1] object to RepInstructions.
  9. Drag the RepInstructions object to position it in the middle of the page, 0.5 in from the left margin.
  10. Select the text in the RepInstructions object and type For Fin@nce Corp. representatives: Indicate if the mortgage is Approved or Declined and contact the applicant..
  11. Save your form design.

You have added form instructions to your form design. Your form design should look like the following illustration.
