Article: This will depend on the intended use of the document. Identify how many different pieces of information must be captured, and relate that to the number of fields required to provide adequate space for that data. The idea is to create a flow from 1 field to the next that will make sense to those who will use the document. A very simple form that is intended to capture basic contact information may follow a sequence of date, first name, last name, address, city, state or province, zip or postal code, telephone and fax numbers and a field for an email address. Software applications typically make it easy to create fields that can be moved by using a computer mouse to drag the field into position on a blank document. Create and place fields that correspond to the data that must be entered on the form in the same sequence you chose earlier. Most software programs used to make forms allow you to adjust the length and width of each field, as well as restrict the type of characters that are allowed in each field. This makes it possible to ensure that dates and telephone numbers are entered in a uniform manner. If the form is to be used in an online environment or part of a template in a database, adding drop down menus will often require creating a table and associating it with the appropriate field. Specific instructions on how to accomplish this can be found in the support materials that came with the software. Before releasing the form for general use, take the time to enter some data and make sure the result is what you expected. Should the data not get entered properly, or 1 or more fields do not function as anticipated, return to the form template and make adjustments.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Determine the types of information that must be entered in the fields of the form. Arrange the information types in a logical sequence. Apply the arrangement to the creation of a form template. Customize each field on your form template. Add drop down menus when appropriate. Test-drive your form.
Article: In laws will always want to know that you are treating their son or daughter well. Be kind and loving to your partner, and show them you have a good relationship. Avoid fighting with, nagging, or putting down your partner when you're around their in laws. If you have something you need to work out, save it for when you're alone. Your in laws will want to be valued in your life. One way to show that they matter to you and your partner is to ask for their thoughts and advice. You can either give them a call to get their opinion or pull them aside for a one-on-one chat when you're all hanging out together as a family. You could try asking them for advice on big things, like "Will you come house hunting with us?" Asking for advice on everyday things will impress them, too (i.e., "What do you think I should wear to the holiday party?" or "Do you know anything about oil changes?"). Go out of your way to keep your in laws in the loop. If you check in on them just to see how they're doing, they will appreciate it, and you'll score some major respect points. It's natural to connect with family around holidays and other events. Try calling or texting your in laws once in a while "just because." They'll probably appreciate the gesture even more since it was unprompted. Call your mother in law, for instance, and say something like "Hi, I just wanted to call and see how you're doing! It's been a hectic week for me, and I bet yours has been long, too." Bring one of your in laws' favorite dishes when you come over, or make it when they come to your house. This can be considered very thoughtful. They will be impressed that you took the time to learn about what they like. Even if they say you didn't make it perfectly right, the gesture will still be appreciated! If you aren't sure what they're favorites are, ask your partner. Casually ask them in conversation what they enjoy eating. For example, ask them "What kind of food do you enjoy?" or "What's your favorite dessert?" Gift-giving times, like holidays and birthdays, can be great opportunities to show your in laws how much you care. Try to give them things you know they'll love. They'll be impressed with your thoughtfulness. For instance, if you know that your mother in law collects things with farmyard motifs, giving her a set of hen and rooster salt and pepper shakers will probably mean more to her than a gift card. Some families like to take vacations with their in laws, and this can be a good bonding experience. But quality time doesn't have to be a huge undertaking. Everyday things like going shopping with one of your in laws or inviting them over to watch the game are really meaningful.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Respect your partner. Ask for their advice. Talk to them often. Make their favorite foods. Give them thoughtful presents. Ask to spend quality time together.
Article: No annotation to your artwork would be complete without a reflection on what you have created. Start by writing a brief description of the piece itself, including its medium, basic subject matter, and style. For instance, you might write "My piece title Constellation #3 is an oil painting on masonite board, with embedded nails. It depicts an angel in a night sky. I rendered the work using a rough impasto painting technique and a cool color palette." For annotations, how you made the work matters as much as what you made. Spend some time describing the process you used, step by step. This can be a simple narrative of the work's development: "I started by laying black gesso over the masonite panel. I drove nails through the panel at random intervals to create texture. I then blocked out the subject's basic form using a light wash of thinned paint. Finally, I built up the subject's form through successive layers of thick paint." In creating your work, you might have had other artworks or artists in mind. Or, you might have been responding to something from culture, like a movie, historical event, or performance. Make sure to give a brief statement that explains how you incorporated these points of reference. You can also mention if the piece is related to other artworks you've made. For instance, you might have been working on a series of paintings depicting night sky scenes. Annotations are often used as part of art education. Even if you are writing them for yourself, taking a moment to think about what you learned from the piece can help you become more self aware as an artist. For instance, perhaps you learned intricate details about how oil paint of various thicknesses dries at different rates. Being able to honestly and accurately critique your own work is as valuable as evaluating the work of others. When annotating your artwork, you can ask yourself a couple simple questions: What have I done well in this work? Try to list a few specific points. What could I improve if I did the work over again? Here too, list some specifics. After you've thought about how you developed your work, your sources of inspiration, and what you learned form the piece, devote another couple of paragraphs in your annotation to these reflections. For instance, you can have one paragraph that describes your process and inspiration, and another that evaluates your work and discusses what you learned or how you would create the piece differently if you were to do it over again. If you are writing about your own work, you can stop here. Make sure to proofread your annotation carefully, correcting any spelling or grammar mistakes, and polishing the style of your sentences to make sure they are clear and flow well.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Summarize what you have made. Tell the story of your artistic process. Mention any sources of inspiration. Acknowledge what you learned from making the piece. Evaluate your work. Write it all out.
