You can make forms and reports that contain a lot of information easier to read by adding lines between sections or by adding rectangles around groups of controls. Lines and rectangles help organize the information so that reports are easier to read and forms are easier to fill out.
Add a Line to a Form or Report
 |
Display the form or report in Design view.
|
 |
Click the Line button on the Toolbox.
|
 With the Line pointer, drag a line where you want the line to appear.
Sizing handles appear.
 |
To adjust the line length or angle, drag a sizing handle left, right, up, or down.
|
Add a Rectangle to a Form or Report
|
Display the form or report in Design view.
|
|
Click the Rectangle button on the Toolbox.
|
Drag a rectangle where you want the border to appear.
Sizing handles appear at each corner and on each side of the border.
