Adding radio buttons
Radio buttons present the person filling out the form with two or more choices, but only
one of the choices can be selected at a time, unlike check boxes, which do allow multiple
choices to be selected. Radio buttons are often simple circles; however, you can design
your own, more elaborate buttons or choose from several sample buttons included with
InDesign. In this lesson, you'll use one of the sample radio buttons.
1.
Choose View > Fit Page In Window, and then zoom in to the “What's your connec-
tion with hockey?” portion of the form.
2.
Choose Sample Buttons And Forms from the Buttons And Forms panel menu or
click the Sample Buttons And Forms panel icon ( ) located to the left of the
Pages panel icon to display the Sample Buttons And Forms panel. If necessary, re-
position and resize the panel so that you can see the “What's your connection with
hockey?” portion of the form.
Tip
When the Scrollable option is selected for a text field, more text can be
entered in the field than is visible onscreen. This can result in only part of
the text appearing on a printed copy of the page.
3.
Drag the radio button named “019” in the Sample Buttons And Forms panel and
position it below the text frame with the text “What's your connection with
hockey?” Align the top of the topmost radio button with the top of the line of text
to the right. Refer to the screen capture on the next page for the correct position.
4.
In the Control panel, make sure that the upper-left reference point is selected in the
reference point locator ( ), enter
40%
in the Scale X Percentage box, and then
press Enter or Return.
