e
ls as

Payment, MiscPayment to Misc. Payment, and MiscNotes to Misc.
Notes.
3) Close the Properties window.
Tip
All of the listings in the Properties window can be modified by
you. For example, by changing the Alignment from Left to
Center, the word or words in the label are centered within the
Label. When you have some time, you might want to experiment
with different settings just to see the results you get.
Step 5: Change the widths of the labels and fields.
We want the following controls to be 2 cm wide (0.8 inches): Breakfast,
Lunch, Supper, Odometer, Snack No., Tolls, Snack Cost, Motel, and
Misc. All of the payment fields were changed in step 2, but Misc.
Payment needs to be changed to 3 cm (1.2 inches).
1) Click Breakfast. The border around it appears with eight green
handles.
2) Move the cursor over the middle green handle on the right. The
cursor changes into a single arrow.
3) Drag and drop the cursor to the left to shorten the control or to
the right to lengthen the control. Use the guide lines to determine
the width.
4) Repeat for the other listed controls.
