1) The default character space size for raster fields (Field (Black Raster) and Field (Orange Raster)) in the
Elements stencil is 4х5 mm and 5х6.5 mm for Field (White Rectangle).
2) Character space size for all the above field types may be altered. Field proportions are automatically
retained, thus ensuring that corner raster dots do not get glued together. Even though the character space
size may be easily changed we do not recommend making them smaller than 4х5 mm.

4. Date (Black Raster) – a standard date raster field. The raster size is 0,39 pt and raster color - black (100%). The
field contains enough character spaces for entering dates in digit-format i.e. Day-Month-Year (DD. MM . YYYY).
This format is best for form processing, however, you can change it if you wish, and even save it as a new stencil if
you plan to use it often.
5. Date (Orange Raster) – a standard date raster field. The raster size is 0,39 pt, and raster color - orange (Pantone
164 CV 100%, represented in MS Visio by RGB: R = 252, G = 127, B = 64). The field contains enough character
spaces for entering the date in digit-format i.e. Day-Month-Year format (DD. MM . YYYY).
6. Date (White Rectangle) - a standard field made up from white rectangles minus a color frame. Used to create
character spaces on color forms, as well as on gray forms with 10% black color saturation. The field contains
enough character spaces for entering the date in digit-format i.e. Day-Month-Year (DD. MM . YYYY).
7. Background (Gray) – a background rectangular fill element. Its horizontal and vertical dimensions may be
changed. It uses a 10% black color saturation background fill (i.e. the fill used for creating gray forms).
8. Background (Orange) - a background rectangular fill element. The horizontal and vertical dimensions may be
changed. It uses a 10% orange color saturation (Pantone 164 CV 100%, modeled in MS Visio by RGB: R = 255, G
= 243, B = 236). Used to create an “orange” form.
9. Text (Orange) – a text element with easily modifiable parameters (type, font, font size). It uses a 100% orange
color saturation fill (Pantone 164 CV 100%, modeled in MS Visio by RGB: R = 252, G = 127, B = 64), and is used
to insert explanatory information onto orange forms.
10. Text (Black) - a text element with easily modifiable parameters (type, font, font size). It uses a 100% black color
saturation fill, and may be used to insert explanatory information onto any black&white as well as color/gray form.
11. Black Square (5 x5 mm) – non-editable reference block of “black square” type. The minimum recommended
number of black squares on any form is 4 (5 if different form types are to be processed simultaneously).
Note. For the same form the squares must all be of the same size. The Elements stencil provides a non-editable
standard square, 5 х 5 mm in size.
12. Black Square + Background – same as 12), only “cushioned” by a white square. Used on gray/color forms.
13. Black Square – an editable reference block of “black square” type. Size is alterable.
14. Vertical Line 0.5 pt – “black vertical line” type block, 0.5 pt thick.
15. Horizontal Line – “black horizontal line” type block, 0.5 pt thick.

Changing field sizeTo establish the current character space size:
Right-click any character space within any form field. Select
View\Size&Position from the local menu.
The field size is denoted by two parameters: Height and Width.
To change the units of measurement:
Select the Tools\Options\Regional Settings menu item and select the
“Millimeters” item in the Pages field.

To change the size of all field character spaces (e.g. to 4х5 mm):
1. Right-click and highlight the entire field.
2. Select the View\Size&Position from the local menu. Set the Height parameter to 5 mm.
Notes.
1. The width automatically becomes 4 mm (the default size for the distributed stencil).
2. This does not need to be done for each individual field. Simply do it for one field, then copy and paste it as
