Formatting graphics in individual container fields
When you define a container field, FileMaker Pro displays the
boundaries of the field in Layout mode, as it does for other fields. You
can format the graphic in a particular way, to maintain the original
proportions of the graphic as it’s entered in the field, or to align the
graphic horizontally or vertically within the boundaries.
You can change the dimensions of container fields on a layout without
affecting the original shape and size of the graphic.
1. In Layout mode, select a container field, and then choose Graphic
from the Format menu.
To format more than one container field at a time, Shift-click each
field to format, and then choose Graphic from the Format menu.
2. In the Graphic Format dialog box, select options, and then click OK.
To Do this
