There are links to more detailed pages near the bottom of the page, under
"Configure Controls".
Thanks, Harold. I did suffer through forms but I cannot seem to get it
to use an internal data source, that is, that I would define the
fields of the combo box from within the Writer document. That is why I
asked the question in the generic sense: I figured that I was barking
up the wrong tree.
The page that you linked to does mention that it is meant to describe
how to create a form without any links to a data source or database,
but it makes no mention of it other than avoiding the data source
configuration altogether! Did I miss something, I've read it,
especially the "Configure controls" section.
I have managed to get the combo box to display a single line in
Control -> General -> Default Text but how do I configure the rest of
the lines. SQL-type "option1", "option2" obviously does not work in a
field called "Default Text" but even adding such text to Control ->
Data -> List Content or other places is fruitless.
Thanks.
Dotan:
Combo box properties
General tab
List entries option
Type first item
Shift Enter
Type second item
Shift enter
etc.
This will build an internal list of entries.
