To delete a row, select the row.  Right-click and select Delete Row. To add a form field, position your cursor and click the appropriate form field from the Forms toolbar: Text Form Field Use this button to insert a fill-in field where users can enter text.  You can also specify a default entry so that the user does not have to type an entry except to change their response Check Box Form Field Use this button to insert a check box next to an independent option that you select or clear.  Please note that these check boxed are not mutually exclusive — that is, the user can select more than one Drop-Down Form Field Use this button to insert a drop-down list box that restricts available choices to those you specify.  After inserting the field, double-click on it to open the window where you can add the options which will appear in your list.
