I put<BR/>>text in the left side, put a <BR/>>field right next to it, do this <BR/>>for 5 lines, same size words and<BR/>> spaces or so it appears, but NO<BR/>>one or two are just off kilter.<BR/>>My developer told me to use tables. <BR/><BR/>Using spaces to position will never work. Never do it in a word processor, never do it in Domino Designer. Use tabs. <BR/>1) Turn on the ruler.<BR/>2) Enter the text lable, press tab, insert field. Don't worry about alignment yet.<BR/>3) When done with the fields, click in the rule to set a tab and drag it so it is a few pixels after the longest label.<BR/>All done!<BR/><BR/>>Sixth, Append means to add on.<BR/>>Insert does too. Enough said.<BR/>>Needless to say the table <BR/>>transformation took the longest <BR/>>for me.<BR/><BR/>Append add a row or column to the end of the table, Insert inserts one where your selection is. Easy.<BR/><BR/>>Seventh, Why can't I create a drop<BR/>>down that has multiple listings in<BR/>>multiple colors?<BR/><BR/>Because the control does not support it. You can't do that easily in VB either. Isn't that bad design anyway? ;-)<BR/>But I agree, would be nice to be able to build a drop-down with images/graphics.TexasSwedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805157610452113381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-32638834789217277182009-02-12T17:06:00.000+02:002009-02-12T17:06:00.000+02:00Now you can appreciate why the developers have bee...Now you can appreciate why the developers have been complaining.
