Using the Properties Window in report templates or layouts

The Layout and Report Designers provide a Properties Window that displays attributes for fields and objects. You can modify field and object attributes in a layout or report template manually or by using the Toolbox or Properties window.

For example, if you want to enlarge the size of a field, you can use the handles on the field to drag it to the size you want, or you can click the field, and then change the size in the Toolbox or Properties window. Using the Properties window is more accurate, especially if you want some of the fields in your form to have the same attributes.

The Properties window allows you the flexibility to change field and object attributes that you may not  be able to access in the Toolbox or through the Field Properties dialog box.
