Changing layout parts
Change layout parts as described in the following sections.
Reordering parts
You can change the order of the body and subsummary parts only. For
example, move a subsummary above the body to see subtotals first.
FileMaker Pro moves all the objects in the reordered part and maintains
its proportions.
1. In Layout mode, choose Part Setup from the Mode menu.
2. Use the double-arrow pointer to drag the part to the new position.
3. Click Done.
Keep these points in mind:
1 In Layout mode, you can click the part label control at the bottom of
the screen to move the part labels to a vertical position (for more
room on the layout). To read vertically displayed part labels more
easily, temporarily flip down the labels by holding down the mouse
button when the pointer is over the label.
1 You can have only one leading and one trailing subsummary part
based on the same field. You can’t move a subsummary based on a
field to where another subsummary based on that same field exists.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the or Help menu, and then type:
