Formatting Options

We will now adjust the layout of the objects on the form using some of the format options. The options include:

 

•Snap to grid
•Snap text to neighbor
•Align objects
•Make objects the same size
•Space objects evenly
•Move objects to top/bottom
•Group objects together

 

Using the Snap to Grid option is often the most effective way to line up multiple objects.

 

Document Icon
1.From the View menu, select Snap to Grid.
2.From the View menu, select Grid.

Note: In Form Properties, you can modify the grid dimensions and make the grid smaller. It is not necessary to show the grid in order to use this option but it can help.

3.Move and align the objects on the form.
4.From the View menu, de-select Grid to turn off the grid view.

 

 

In Form Properties, the Theme section allows you to edit the default appearance for most object types. If you change an object setting in the theme, it will change all of the objects of that type on the form.
