2) The dialog that opens is labeled Properties: Label Field. It
contains all of the properties of the selected label.
• In the Label selection, edit the label to Snack No.
• Close the Properties dialog.
3) Use the same procedure to change these labels as well: BPayment
to Payment, LPayment to Payment, SPayment to Payment,
Miscellaneous to Misc., SnackCost to Snack Cost, MPayment to
Payment, MiscPayment to Misc. Payment, and MiscNotes to Misc.
Notes.
Tip
You can modify all of the listings in the Properties window. For
example, if you change the Alignment from Left to Center, the
word or words in the label are centered within the label. When
you have some time, you might want to experiment with
different settings just to see the results you get.
Step 5: Change the widths of the labels and fields.
We want the following controls to be 2 cm wide (0.8 inches): Breakfast,
Lunch, Supper, Odometer, Snack No., Tolls, Snack Cost, Motel, and
Misc. All of the payment fields were changed in step 2, but Misc.
Payment needs to be changed to 3 cm (1.2 inches).
1) Right-click Breakfast and choose Position and Size. On the
Position and Size dialog, change Width to 2 cm.
2) Repeat for the other listed controls, using 3 cm for Misc.Payment.
Caution
When changing the position or size of an entire control, use the
Position and Size dialog or the drag and drop method.
When working with either the label or the field (but not both at
the same time), you can use the Properties dialog to make these
changes when you want to be exact. However, you need to be
careful not to accidentally select the entire control for use with
the Properties dialog or you will apply the exact same values to
both the label and field. For example, if you enter the values for
a new position, both the field and the label moves to the same
position and the field is positioned on top of the label. Then you
have to move each of them to where you want them.
Note
To open the Properties window, right-click a control and select
Control from the pop-up menu. Or, you can click the Control
icon in the Form Controls toolbar. Just be careful, and use
Control+Z to undo any mistakes you may make. Detailed
instructions on how to use the Properties window will be in the
Base Guide.
