Automating tasks with buttons and scripts 73
6. Select the Go to Layout script step and click the Move button. (You
can also select and move script steps by double-clicking them.)
7. In the Options area, select the Labels layout from the list of
available layouts.
8. From the list on the left, scroll down and select the Enter Preview
Mode script step, and move it over to your script.
9. With this script step selected, deselect the Pause checkbox in the
Options area.
When you use a script to change modes, FileMaker Pro gives you the
option of pausing the script. This can be useful if you require some
input before continuing the script. In this instance, Enter Preview
Mode is the last step of the script, so no user input is necessary.
10. Click OK, then click Done.
11. To run the script you have just created, choose Scripts menu >
Preview Labels Layout. FileMaker Pro displays the Labels layout and
switches to Preview mode.
