To insert a Fieldset and Legend:

1. Drag the Fieldset icon from the Forms set in the Objects palette to your form.
2. In the Form Fieldset Inspector, select Use Legend if you want a legend to appear in the field-set boundary.
3. Choose the legend alignment from the Alignment pop-up menu:
• Default positions the legend according to the browser's preferences. (If the browser does not specify any legend alignment preferences, the legend will be left-aligned.)
• Left positions the legend in the upper left corner of the field set.
• Center positions the legend in the upper middle of the field set.
• Right places the legend in the upper right corner of the field set.
4. Double-click the legend in the field set, and then type a name.
