Customize commands for an optional section

Note  If users have already filled out forms based on your form template, changing the name of a field or group can cause data loss in those forms.

1. In design mode, right-click the Optional Section label below the section, and then click Section Properties.
2. In the Field or group name box in the Section Properties dialog box, type a new name for the group or field.

   If your form template is based on a sample form, pre-existing XML Schema, database, or Web service, you can only change the names of fields and groups that you have added to the data source.

3. The following default menus will be updated with the new name. Any additional commands you add to the optional section will reflect the new name.

   Menu	Command name
   Section submenu on the Insert menu	[group or field name]
   Shortcut menu	Insert [group or field name] Remove [group or field name]

1. In design mode, right-click the Optional Section label below the section, and then click Section Properties.
