Single Line Text Fields

Single Line Text Fields allow you to only enter one line of text, usually with a limit on the number of characters you can type.

It is possible to type more information into a Single Line Text Field than will fit in the on-screen box. When this happens, not all the information will appear on the screen but, when printing, ADLForms will ensure that the information prints within the bounds of the box. It does this in two ways. Firstly it will repeatedly reduce the font size to try and fit the text within the confines of the box. If it fails to get the text to fit within the bounds of the box before it reduces the font size to a size of 6, it will then split the text over two lines and fit the text within the box over two lines.

There are a number of types of Single Line Text Fields which may allow for automatic formatting of your text. They are:

Standard	This field type will allow all text to remain exactly as you have typed it.
Upper/Lowercase	This field type will ensure that all words start with a capital letter. This field type is typically used for Name and Address fields. It even accommodates odd surnames such as McDonald, de Vere, etc.
First Word Uppercase	This field type is used where one or more sentences may be typed. In these cases the program will automatically set the first character of each sentence to be uppercase.
Uppercase	This field type will automatically force all characters to uppercase (eg. State field)
Lowercase	This field type will automatically force all characters to lowercase. This type of field would be used only on rare occasions, where a code or license # is normally only in lowercase.
