Working with fields on a layout
After you create a layout, you can place fields on it, remove fields you don’t
want displayed, determine control settings for data entered in fields, and
determine the format in which you want data displayed.
Fields on a layout are objects, which you can select, move, resize, and reshape.
In Layout mode, each field displays its field name, formatted with its attributes
for font, size, style, alignment, line spacing, and color. All fields except
container fields display text baselines to indicate where the data appears in
Browse mode and to help you align fields with each other.
