Custom Forms: Editing Tips

The Custom Form/Report tool lets you edit Forms(5539)

Here are a few tricks, which may help:

1. Select an object and use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move it

2. Hold the Ctrl Key (on Windows, or the Command key on Mac) and use the arrow keys to resize an object. Left is narrower; Right is wider. Up is shorter; Down is taller.

3. Drag over objects to select them. For example if trying to select a one-pixel wide line, draw a rectangle with your mouse. Everything inside the rectangle is selected. Shift-click any extra objects selected, in order to deselect them.

4. When you are creating a New report, you select an appropriate template. The template provides several functions including identifying where your form should be printable from (e.g. an Invoice), what the base table for the form or report is (Invoices), and what fields are available for insertion on your form (Invoice fields).
