Inserting text labels

To make it easier for the form's user to identify the meaning of every field widget, these should have added text labels with appropriate titles. To create text labels the Label widget is used.

Insert three text label widgets onto the form, placing them on the left side of the text fields (or on the right hand if your operating system uses right-to-left layout). On inserting a new label, a text cursor appears at the location where you can enter the desired title. Enter consecutively: Name, Surname, Street, House Number and City. Additionally, on the top of the form insert another label displaying name of the form, i.e. Persons. Enlarge this label's size and increase the font size using Font in the Properties tab.
