Getting Started Guide

2) Move the cursor over the middle green handle on the right. The cursor
becomes a double-headed arrow.
3) Drag the cursor to the left until the field is 2.5 cm wide (1 inch).
Tip
If you have the Snap to Grid and Guides when moving icons selected in
the Design Format toolbar, you will see how wide the field is as you
shorten it.
4) Repeat these steps to shorten these fields: Lpayment, SPayment, SnPayment,
Mpayment, and MiscPayment.
Step 3: Move the controls to group them by category.
We want to move the controls so that they look like Figure 196.
Figure 196: Positioning of controls
1) Click the first control you want to move. A border appears around the control
with eight green handles.
2) Move the cursor over the label or field of the control. It change shape to a drag
icon.
3) Drag and drop the control to where you want it.
Caution
Do not use Control+click when moving a field. It moves either the field
or the label but not both. To move both, use a mouse click and drag to
the desired spot.
4) Use the same steps to move the rest of the controls to where they belong.
Step 4: Change the label wording.
Field names have been single words for some time. However, the labels for the fields
in a form can be more than one word. So, we will change them by editing the text in
the label.
