Changing a layout part
You can also change an existing part’s type, break field (if it's a subsummary part), and pagination options:
To change an existing part:
1.
In Layout mode, choose Layouts menu > Part Setup.
2.
In the Part Setup dialog box, select the part, then click Change.
3.
In the Part Definition dialog box, make your changes.
 
To change
Do this
From one type of part to another
Select a different part type. Changes you can make depend on the part's location and function.
The break field for a subsummary part
First choose the table that contains the field from the tables list above the list of fields. Then select the field name in the list of fields.
Page breaks, page numbering, and the alternate background fill
See Defining page breaks, numbering, and background fill.
Dimmed types are not available because either:
  •
that part type already exists. (Only subsummary parts can exist more than once on a layout.)
  •
the part you're changing is not in the right place on the layout (for example, a title header must be at the top of the layout)
4.
Click OK.
Notes
  •
To apply a color or pattern to a layout part, click the part label with the arrow pointer, then, in the formatting bar, choose from the Fill Color palette, Fill Pattern palette, or both. (The color you specify for the body part also affects the background of the table in Table View.)
  •
To quickly change a layout part, double-click the part label on the layout to display the Part Definitions dialog box for that part.
