18 | Filling out Forms
Regardless of which type of field you are working with, each field can also restrict the type of data you
can enter. For example, one field might accept any text while another might accept only dates. Finally,
fields can also require that you complete them – these are called mandatory fields, because it is
mandatory that you fill them out.
The following sections discuss how to:
■
Select text.
■
Cut, copy, paste, or delete text.
■
Adjust the formatting of rich text.
■
Identify mandatory fields and field data types.
