# Creating, Saving, and Opening a Form

> Create, save, and open forms in ABBYY FormDesigner using the Quick Start dialog box, the Form Wizard, or standard File menu commands and shortcuts.

## Creating a Form

The **Quick Start** dialog box opens when you start the application or when you select **File →** **New\...** Here you create a [new form](/flexi-capture/form-designer/new-form) from scratch (either an empty one or with basic elements), [create a form based on a sample](/flexi-capture/form-designer/form-sample), or use the **Form Wizard**, which will guide you through all steps of the form creation process. Once the wizard has finished creating the form, you will only need to add the required form elements (using the **Form Elements** toolbar) and save your form.

For more information, please refer to [Creating a Form](/flexi-capture/form-designer/form-creation).
