Changing field sze of labels and text boxes independently
in [Reports]
|
From: gg on 19 Apr 2010 19:31 I am using Access 2007. I created a report with the wizard. Now I can't change the size of labels or text boxes without all the fields/labels changing in concert. What do I do to permit changing these things individually? Must be simple, but the help function in Acess 2007 I find not very helpful.
From: Jeanette Cunningham on 19 Apr 2010 21:03 On the arrange tab, look for the button for Remove. Highlight the controls and click remove. This will ungroup the controls.

From: gg on 20 Apr 2010 13:40 Thanks much-With that fixed, I was led to another annoyance that I hope will be as easy. When I run the pointer over several text boxes and try to group select them to move or whatever, the system won't respond. Yet, if I select by clicking in the ruler area, I can select all in that row. It this an ac2007 thing or is there another button somewhere?

From: Jeanette Cunningham on 20 Apr 2010 17:14 That has always been the way it works in Access. I usually hold down Shift and click on each control that I want to operate on as a group. However they don't stay grouped once you click somewhere else on the form.

From: gg on 21 Apr 2010 22:54 Thanks again-I guess I "misrembered" what I was able to do in A2000.
