3-6 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
To use a predefined layout type, choose New Layout from the Mode
menu, and then select a layout type. To change the layout, use the tools
and commands in Layout mode to tailor the layout for your needs.
Use this layout type To display
Standard All the fields in the database file, with field labels, on separate
lines in the viewing order set in the Define Fields dialog box.
You see one record per screen. The layout includes a body and
a blank header and footer.
Columnar report The fields you want, in columns from left to right, with a
header that includes field labels as column headings. If all
fields don’t fit across the body, FileMaker Pro wraps them to
the next line. You see many records per screen. This layout
includes a blank footer.
Extended columnar The fields you want (in columns, with a header that includes
field labels) without wrapping fields to the next line. You can
adjust the field size to see a record on a single line. You see
many records per screen. This layout includes a blank footer.
Single-page form All the fields in the database file, with field labels, on separate
lines in the viewing order set in the Define Fields dialog box.
It’s like a Standard layout, but without a header or footer.
Labels The fields you want, in the arrangement you choose to print on
mailing label stock.
Envelope The fields you want, in the arrangement you choose to print on
a standard business envelope.
Blank The fields you want. A blank layout includes a blank header,
body, and footer.
FileMaker Pro considers the printer and page setup information when it
displays boundaries and measurements on the layout. When you need to
fit something on the page in a certain way, such as a layout to print data
on preprinted forms, first use the Chooser to choose your printer. Then
select options in the Page Setup dialog box.
