Drag the part label or part boundary (the dotted line that marks the bottom of the part) until the part is the height you want.
|
When you resize a layout part, FileMaker Pro maintains the size of the other parts. For example, you can increase the height of the header part, but this won't affect the size of the part directly following the header part.

|
To maintain the height of the entire layout while changing the size of one layout part, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the part label or part boundary. (This causes the size of the layout part immediately below the part you're changing to also change.)

To precisely resize a part, open the Info palette by clicking Info
 in the layout bar. Then select the part by clicking its part label, and enter a value for the part's height  or bottom boundary  into the Info palette. For more information, see Using the Info palette with objects. |
You can also use the graphic rulers (choose View menu > Graphic Rulers) to help with precisely sizing parts. For more information, see Using graphic rulers and ruler gridlines.

|
You can't make a part smaller than the objects that it holds (in other words, you can't shrink a part by dragging its boundary across an object) unless you press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag the part boundary.

If you reduce a layout part to nothing by dragging it under the part above it, FileMaker Pro deletes the part from the layout.
