Controls

Checkbox is a control that a user can select or clear. The user can choose the appropriate options from the listed ones or agreeing to the indicated conditions.

You can apply formatting settings to the checkbox. For example, change the size or color, make it bold.

Plain Text is a control that contains a field for entering plain (unformatted) text. Regardless of the settings in a third-party editor, you can enter any amount of text into the field manually or from the clipboard without breaking it into paragraphs.

When pasting formatted text into the input field, all formatting settings are cleared.

Text inserted or manually entered can be formatted directly in the input field. For example, you can change the font size and color, make the text bold or underlined, or apply a preset style to the text. Formatting settings are applied to the entire text in the input field, formatting of individual text pieces is not allowed. As the font size increases, the size of the input field changes proportionally.

To switch to the edit mode of the field content, click it with the mouse.

If you want to select the text in the input field, do the following:

•To select one word, double-click that word.

•To select the entire text, click any word three times.

The selected text can be cut or copied and pasted elsewhere in the document as text. Cutting, copying, and pasting are carried out in standard ways.

Date Picker is a control that contains a date input field. The date is selected by the user from the drop-down calendar and inserted into the field in the specified format. Entering the date manually is not allowed.

The date in the input field can be formatted. For example, change the size and color, make it underlined, apply a preset style to the date. As the font size increases, the size of the date input field changes proportionally.

Drop–Down List is a control that contains a drop-down list of set values. Only one value can be selected. Editing of the selected value is not allowed.

The text that appears in the drop-down list input field can be formatted. For example, you can change the font size and color, make the text bold or underlined, or apply a preset style to the text. As the font size increases, the size of the input field changes proportionally. Note that formatting is not applied to the items in the list.

Text Frame is a control from previous versions of Word that includes a container for entering text (a frame). The frame can be moved as well as resized.

In MyOffice Text, the frame is automatically converted to a text box. This retains the content, formatting parameters, size, and position on the sheet as set in Word. Frame parameters that are not supported for a text box (see the list) are saved in the system for back conversion.

When converting a frame to a text box:

•Charts are not displayed in text boxes.

•Text rotation, footnotes and headings are not supported for text fields. In addition, there is no option to work with fields not created in MyOffice Text.

•If the frame is set to a background color with shading, only the background color (without shading) is displayed.

•If the frame has borders of different types, the same solid line borders are set. Borders of different colors are converted to black borders. Borders of different thicknesses are converted to identical borders with a mean value. If at least one border is missing, all borders are removed.

•If the text in the frame is divided into separate paragraphs and the frame has a fill, the fill color is not displayed.

•If the text in the frame is divided into separate paragraphs and these paragraphs have borders, the borders of both the paragraphs and the text box are removed. The original view of the borders for reverse conversion is not saved.

•When you copy a text box within the original document, all parameters for the reverse conversion are saved. When copying to another document, the parameters are not saved.

When you save the document, the text box is converted back to a frame. Parameters that were not used in the conversion are applied to the frame.

A control can be copied or cut and pasted in standard ways.

To select the text box into which the text frame has been converted for cutting/copying, click it with the mouse.

To select a control to cut or copy it, do one of the following:

•Select the control by holding down the left mouse button.

•Place the cursor in before or after the control and select it by pressing Shift+→ or Shift+←.

The control can be deleted if it is not prohibited by the settings of a third-party editor.

To delete the text box into which the text frame has been converted, follow the steps described in the Delete Shape section.

To delete another control, use in one of the following ways:

•Select the control by holding down the left mouse button. When working in Windows or Linux OS, press Delete or Backspace, when working in macOS, press Delete.

•Place the cursor in before or after the control and select it by pressing Shift+→ or Shift+←. When working in Windows or Linux OS, press Delete or Backspace, when working in macOS, press Delete.

You can also delete a Checkbox, Date Picker, or Drop-Down List control in the following ways:

•When working in Windows or Linux, place the cursor in front of the control and press Delete twice, or place the cursor after the control and press Backspace twice.

•When working in macOS, place the cursor in front of the control and press Delete twice.
