To format a Slider control

1. You can require that users specify a value using the input object control before submitting their changes. Do one of the following:

   • To require users to specify a value for the control before submitting their changes, select the User must enter a value check box.

   • To allow users to submit their changes without specifying a value, clear the User must enter a value check box.

2. You can display the slider automatically when the document is viewed, or display the slider only when a user selects its grid cell or text field. Do one of the following:

   • To display the slider automatically, select the Show by default check box.

   • To display the slider when its grid cell or text field is selected, clear the Show by default check box.

3. To specify a width for the slider in inches, type the width in the Width field. This option is only available if the Show by default check box is cleared.

4. To specify a width for the slider as a percentage of the text box or grid cell it is defined on, type the percentage in the Label Width field. This option is only available if the Show by default check box is cleared.

5. You can automatically generate the values displayed in the slider, or manually determine which values are displayed. If determined manually, you can specify each value displayed. Select one of the following under Input type:

   • To display automatically generated values, select Calculated.

     1. To specify the lowest and highest selectable values, type a value in the Minimum value field and in the Maximum value field.

     2. To specify the interval displayed between each value in the slider, type a value in the Interval field. For example, if the minimum value is 0 and the interval is 10, users can specify 0, 10, 20, 30, and so on.

   • To use manually entered values, select Manual.

     1. In the Values field, type the value to display on the slider.

     2. To add another value to the slider, hover the cursor over a value and click the Add icon. A new value is added below the selected value.

     3. To delete a value from the slider, hover the cursor over the value and click the Delete icon.

     4. Repeat the appropriate steps above for each value that you want to display.
