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 becomes
a double arrow (Figure 203).
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.
Note
The only way to learn to do these two steps well is to practice
them. Another way exists which will place controls where you
want them, but this is a more advanced feature and will be
explained in the
Base Guide
.
Step 4: Change the label wording.
Field names n
eed to be single words. However, the labels for the fields
can be more than one word. So, we will change them. To do so, we will
be editing the text in the label.
1)
