7.Layout Wizard

Form style :

To view the actual form and its blocks and fields, pull down the Tools menu and select the Layout Editor menu item (if it not already displayed).

                   In the Layout Editor, fields and labels can be moved around by clicking and dragging. Other text, lines and boxes, etc. can be added using the tool palette on the left side of the window.

Some common operations on the Layout Editor include:

                     Move a field or a field label by clicking and dragging the item with the left mouse button.

                     Change the text of a label by choosing the text tool button  from the tool bar and then clicking on a label. To stop editing the label, click anywhere outside of the label text.

                     Add text to the block by choosing the text tool button  from the tool bar and then clicking on a open area. Type the new text. To change the font, highlight the text, pull down the Format menu and click on the Font menu item.

                     To change the text color of a label, use the pointer tool  to highlight a label and then click on the Text Color palette button  to choose the color.

                     Change the width of a field by clicking on the field. Then drag one of the handles (small black boxes around the field) to re-size the field.

For exampe, on the Ticket_booking form, you may wish to make the Ticket No field wider to accomodate longer digits of number.

Use the Zoom In tool  to zoom in to the form (e.g., make everything appear larger). Or use the Zoom Out tool  to zoom out of the form.
