Laying out and arranging information 3-65
Keep these points in mind:
1 You can also set the format for the system time symbol (::) on the
layout. Select the symbol first. See “Displaying special information”
on page 3-81.
1 When you work with a file created with different system formats and
you want to use the formats set on your computer, choose Use System
Formats from the Format menu. See appendix B, “Working with
international files.”
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.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:
