Can I create text boxes where only single characters are typed?

We have no idea what their official name is, but you often see (what we call) fixed pitch boxes on forms that request bank account and telephone numbers. Their purpose is to split a sequence of characters into single character boxes.

You can implement fixed pitch boxes within your InForm documents, by performing the following actions:

  1. Add a text box to the page.
  2. Select the text box.
  3. Open the Paragraph property group.
  4. Set the Style property value to Fixed.
  5. Make the necessary style changes using the properties provided.

For further details, search for "Fixed Pitch" in the InForm Designer Help.
