Note Before you print a layout that displays the current page number,
you can specify the starting number in the Print dialog box. (See
“Printing” on page 6-12.)
Formatting text paragraphs
You can format text, and the data in text fields, as paragraphs. For
example, indent the first line of text, or insert tab stops in a text field. Set
formatting options individually or all at once.
Using the text ruler
Format text on layouts and in text fields using the text ruler.
1. To display the text ruler in Layout mode, choose Text Ruler from the
Show menu. In Browse mode, choose Text Ruler from the Format
menu.
2. In Layout mode, select the objects to format. In Browse mode, select
the text to format.
To set tabs, indents, or margins, select text first. If you click a text
object without selecting text, you can only set font, size, style,
alignment, and ruler units.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the or Help menu, and then type:
