I'm just saying that picking form controls for an electronic form, would be a better guide to paper form control choice than nothing at all would be.
The example I gave would translate directly from any section in such a chapter that talks about when to use check boxes, and when to use text fields. And then I was pointing out that the only possible way your chapter wouldn't be helpful at all for paper, would be if it didn't have advice for when you should use what, and as a result be a failure for electronic and paper forms alike. True, a paper form can't have a select box, but they can have check boxes and blanks for text and many of the same rules apply for when to use them. So, without reading your book, I know it must be helpful in that case. And if it really isn't at all, it must not be very helpful for electronic forms either. And if your book goes even one step beyond rote rules and delves into the spirit and philosophy behind why you should design such and such a way, it should be directly translatable to any sort of form.
