Note Icon

XML Form documents (XForms) use the same controls.


To create a form, open a document and use the Form Controls toolbar to add and define the form controls. If you want, you can also link the form to a database, so that you can use the controls to manipulate a database.

When you create a form in an HTML document, you can use the form to send data over the Internet.

Note Icon

LibreOffice only exports the form properties that are supported by the HTML version that you export to. To specify the HTML version, choose - Load/Save - HTML Compatibility.


To add a control to a document

  1. On the Form Controls toolbar, click the icon of the control that you want to add.

  2. In the document, drag to create the control.

    To create a square control field, hold down the Shift key while you drag.

Tip Icon

To add a field from the field list of a table or query to a form, drag a cell into the form. In a text document, you can also drag a column header to add a field to a form. To include a label for the field, hold down the +Shift key down when you drag a column head.


Modifying a Control

  1. Right-click the control and choose Control. A dialog opens where you can define the properties of the control.

  2. To specify a accelerator key for a control, add a tilde (~) in front of the character in the label for the control.

  3. You can drag and drop controls from one document to another document. You can also copy and paste controls between documents. When you insert a control from another document, LibreOffice analyzes the data source, content type, and content properties of the control so that the control fits the logical structure in the target document. For example, a control that displays contents from an address book continues to display the same contents after you copy the control to a different document. You can view these properties on the Data tab page of the Form properties dialog.
