Form elements can be resized as indicated by green dots on the borders of an element that become visible when the element is selected. Not all elements can be resized directly with the mouse. The size of an anchor, for example, can only be changed on the Anchor tab of the Element Properties dialog box. Elements whose size can be changed have green dots along their borders when selected, and elements whose size cannot be changed have white dots. To change the size of a form’s element:
  1. Select the element you wish to resize.
  2. Place the mouse cursor on any green dot of the element’s borders corresponding to the chosen direction of resizing the element; the cursor will change for arrows.
  3. Click the required green dot, hold down the mouse button and move the mouse in the desired direction.
It is possible to resize elements symmetrically. It means that the element’s size will change in the chosen and opposite direction. To resize a form element symmetrically:
  1. Select the element you wish to resize.
  2. Press and hold the Ctrl button.
  3. Place the mouse cursor on the required green dot of the border of the element; the cursor will change for arrows.
  4. Click the required green dot, hold down the mouse button and move the mouse in the desired direction.
You can also change the size of an element by binding two of its borders to parallel rulers. If you bind several elements to parallel rulers, you will be able to change the vertical or horizontal size of all the bound elements simultaneously and to the same degree. To change the size of an element using rulers:
  1. Use the or tool to create two parallel rulers.
  2. Move the rulers or the desired elements so that the elements’ borders which need to be resized coincide with the rulers. This will bind the borders to the rulers.
  3. Click one of the rulers and drag it holding down the left mouse button. The size of all the elements will be changing as you move the ruler. Release the mouse when the elements are the right size.
You can only change the vertical size of the entry field element if the Multiple rows option is selected for it.
