Reordering layout parts

You can change the order of only the body and subsummary parts; other parts, like the header and footer, must appear in a specific order, so they can't be moved. For example, move a subsummary part above the body to see subtotals first.

To reorder layout parts:

1.	In Layout mode, choose Layouts menu > Part Setup.

2.	In the Part Setup dialog box, drag the name of the part to the new location.

A part that can't be moved has a lock icon to the left of its name.

3.	Click Done.

FileMaker Pro moves all the fields and objects in the part and maintains its proportions.

Notes

•	While working in Layout mode, you can quickly reorder a part directly on the layout by clicking the Selection tool in the status toolbar and Shift-dragging the part label (or the line that marks the bottom of the part).

•	You can't move a subsummary part to the same location as another subsummary part that uses the same break field.
