Some forms are just printed lines and boxes with no fillable fields. Monstera can suggest where the places to write are on a page.
Steps
- Go to the page.
- In the rail, choose Forms, then Detect… in the Manage group (Find fields on this page…).
- The Fields this page could have window says how many places it found and lists them, and each one is marked on the page. Untick anything that is not really a place to write.
- To look at every page instead of this one, choose Find on all pages.
- Choose Add … fields to add them, or close the window to add nothing. The button says how many fields it will make.
Good to know
- Monstera looks for empty ruled lines, boxes, small squares and small circles with words next to them. An empty table cell looks the same as a box, so check the list.
- Monstera suggests only places to write. It does not suggest a place that already has a field, and the window says how many fields the document has and how many places it left out for that reason.
- A line or a wide box becomes a text field, a small square a tick box and a small circle a radio button. The circles in one row are one group of choices. Draw dropdowns and lists with the Fields tools.
- Nothing is added until you choose Add … fields, and one Undo with Ctrl+Z takes back everything it added.
