Getting Started Guide

Tip
Learning how to use styles can be very helpful at times. By using styles,
we changed the font color for all three headings at one time. There are
other methods of changing the font color, but they require repeating the
same steps for each heading.
4) To add a graphic to the background:
a) Right-click on the background and select Page from the pop-up menu.
b) On the Page Style dialog, click the Background tab, change the As
dropdown list from Color to Graphic.
c) Click Browse to find and select the graphic file you want to use, and click
Open. In the Type section of the Background tab, select Area.
d) Click OK to close the dialog. The form should look like Figure 207.

Step 11: Change the tab order.
The Tab key moves the cursor from field to field. This is much easier to do than to
click each field to enter data into it. It also permits us to group our expenses into
areas before we begin entering data. For example, all of our meal receipts can be
grouped together as can our snacks and also our fuel purchases.
1) Control+click the Date field.
2) Click the Form Design icon in the Form Controls toolbar to open the Form
Design toolbar (Figure 208), or choose View > Toolbars > Form Design to
open this toolbar.
3) Click the Activation Order icon (circled).
