838 Chapter 27 Create Simple Forms


SET UP You need the GardenCompany03 database you worked with in the preceding
exercise to complete this exercise. Open the GardenCompany03 database, and then
follow the steps.


  1. In the Navigation pane, under Forms, right-click Customers, and click Layout
    View.
    Because the Property Sheet was open when you last closed the form, it opens with
    the form.

  2. Click the CustomerID label (not its text box), and on the Arrange contextual tab,
    in the Rows & Columns group, click the Select Column button.
    Tip You can also point above the selected control, and when the pointer changes to a
    single downward-pointing arrow, click to select the column of controls.

  3. With all the labels selected, on the Format page of the Property Sheet, set the
    Text Align property to Right.
    All the labels are right-aligned in their boxes. The Property Sheet indicates that by
    default, the Width property of the labels is 1.0611".


You can efficiently adjust the alignment of multiple controls by changing the Text Align
property in the Property Sheet.
