3-36 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
Resizing parts
When you resize a layout part, FileMaker Pro always maintains the size
of the other parts. For example, changing the size of the header won't
change the size of the body.
In Layout mode, use the pointer to drag the part label (or the dotted line
below the part) until the part is the size you want.
Changing part types and options
You can change a layout part's type and options, including the break
field, numbering, and page break settings in the Part Definition dialog
box.
To display the Part Definition dialog box, double-click the part label in
the layout or see “Adding layout parts” on page 3-27.
Deleting layout parts
You can delete all but the last part that remains on a layout. Deleting a
part doesn’t affect your data. Before you delete a layout part, you can
drag any objects you want to keep to another part on the same layout.
1. In Layout mode, choose Part Setup from the Mode menu.
2. In the Part Setup dialog box, select the part to delete, and then click
Delete.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the or Help menu, and then type:
E layout parts, managing
To change Do this
Part types Select a different part type. Changes you can make depend on the part’s
location and function.

to change the focus of a report using different fields in subsummary
parts).
