Options for moving among form fields
Auto-Complete forms (interactive forms only)
The Auto-Complete feature stores any entries that you type in an interactive form field. Auto-Complete then suggests
or even automatically enters responses that match your typing in other form fields. The suggestions appear in a pop-
up menu, from which you can select a match. The Auto-Complete feature is off by default, so you must enable it in the
forms preferences if you want to use it.
To remove an entry from the Auto-Complete memory, such as a misspelled entry that you found and corrected later,
edit the list in the preferences.
