Figure 202: Form Controls toolbar

• Scroll down to the Date format property. This is a dropdown

list with Standard (short) as the default setting. Click it to

open the list. Select the Standard (long) entry.

• Scroll down to the Dropdown property. Its default setting is

No. It is also a dropdown list. Click to open the list. Select Yes.

Tip

To see what the Date field will look like, click the Form Mode

On/Off icon (the second icon from the left in Figure 202). You

can do this any time you want to see the form with the changes

you have made.

Step 2: Shorten the width of some fields.

All of the fields with a label containing the word payment are too wide.

They need shortening before the controls are moved.

1) Control+click the BPayment field (Figure 203).

Figure 203: Selecting a field

2) Move the cursor over the middle green handle on the right. The

cursor becomes a double-headed arrow.

3) Drag the cursor to the left until the field is 2.5 cm wide (1 inch).

Tip

If you have the Snap to Grid and Guides when moving icons

selected in the Design Format toolbar, you will see how wide the

field is as you shorten it.

4) Repeat these steps to shorten these fields: Lpayment, SPayment,

SnPayment, Mpayment, and MiscPayment.

Step 3: Move the controls to group them by category.

We want to move the controls so that they look like Figure 204.
