Editing a layout To change the arrangement and appearance of data, you must be in Layout mode. You can use the tool panel to make changes. Tip When you work in Layout mode, it's often convenient to use two views of the document-one in Layout mode and the other in Browse mode-to see your changes immediately as you make them. Choose New View from the Window menu, and then click on the Default button bar (or choose Tile Windows from the Window menu). (For more information about arranging windows, see "Arranging windows" on page 3-3.) In Layout mode, fields and field labels appear as objects.

(To change field data, see "Adding, changing, and deleting fields" on page 8-12. To change the way data appears, see "Changing the appearance of data" on page 8-34.)
