Move Things

 

When you drag a dictionary item onto a form, it will be placed on the form at the point where you released the mouse button. The dictionary label will be used as identifying text for the field, and it will be placed on the form according to the Drag Options in effect, which may mean the item becomes rostered. Once the field is on a form, you can fine-tune its placement.

 

• Move a Field

To move a field, select the box and drag it to the desired location. Each field has a text item associated with it. You can see the text by holding down the Shift key and clicking on the field. This will select both the field and its text. You can now move both of them together by dragging and dropping. You can move a field's associated text separately by simply dragging and dropping only the selected text.

 

• Move a Roster

To move a roster, select it by clicking on the gray space in any cell or in the small box in the top left corner of the roster. Drag it to the desired location. You can also resize a roster.

 

• Move Text

To move any text, simply select and drag it to the desired location.

 

• Move a Block of Items

First select a block of items. Then, move the mouse over one of the tracker regions selected. When you see the mouse cursor change from curarw.jpg to Cursor Arrow Icon, you are ready to move the block. Press down with the left mouse button and drag it to its new location.

 

A tracker (or tracker region) refers to the item(s) that has(have) been selected with the mouse. Visually, you will see a heavy dashed line drawn around the item(s).
