Resizing parts
?
When you resize a layout part, FileMaker Pro always maintains the size
of the other parts. For example, changing the size of the header won't
change the size of the body.
In Layout mode, use the pointer to drag the part label (or the dotted line
below the part) until the part is the size you want.
Changing part types and options
You can change a layout part's type and options, including the break
field, numbering, and page break settings in the Part Definition dialog
