Maximum of 3 digits (1-255). Enter the maximum width of the item. The field width is measured by the number of characters.

The default field width is the width of the Tabs3 data field. When defining a text item, the default field width is 35. You can accept the default field width or widen or narrow it as desired. Keep in mind that the default width of some fields will exceed your overall Width when the overall Width is less than 50. You can use the Preview button to open the Form Preview window which will show red text for portions of items that exceed the overall Width.

Note: You may want to increase the default field width of "11" for numeric fields if you are working with large dollar amounts and are including commas in the amounts.
