Redefine form field property defaults After you change properties for a specific type of form field, you can set those properties as the default set for that type. For example, you can create a check box, change its properties, and then save the properties as the default values. 1 If necessary, choose Tools > Forms > Edit to go to form-editing mode. 2 Right-click the form field for which you have already changed properties, and choose Use Current Properties As New Defaults.
