Step 2: Setting the Form  Attributes
The Form Attributes are set to determine the form’s page orientation (landscape or
portrait) and the size of the page. Even if you are creating a new form from an
existing form, it is important to verify the Form Attributes.
The form attributes must match those set in the page definition of the environment to
be used with the form. Refer to Setting the Page Definition in Chapter 3.
 
To set the form attributes:
1. 
Select the ‘Form Attributes’ option from the File menu. The View/Change Form
Attributes dialogue will be displayed.
           
2. 
Select the Page Orientation (Portrait or Landscape).
3. 
Select the Page Size required from the drop-down menu (the Page Size options
available in the menu depend on the printer type selected, see NOTE below).
4. 
If applicable, enter the page Width and Height, then choose the OK button. You
will be returned to the Form Editor.
 NOTE:
All the features available on the printer are contained in the XLPrint Printer
Descriptor (XPD) file in the \PARIS\PRT directory. For full details on the function
of  XPD and PPD files, see the PARIS Designer Reference Manual
