Deleting layout parts

You can delete all but the last layout part from a layout. You can choose to delete a part and the objects on the part, or delete a part without deleting the objects on the part.

To delete a part and the objects on the part:

1.	Select and drag any objects you want to keep to another part on the same layout.

2.	In Layout mode, choose Layouts menu > Part Setup.

3.	In the Part Setup dialog box, select the part to delete, then click Delete.

If the part contains objects, FileMaker Pro displays a dialog box asking you to confirm the deletion.

4.	Click Done.

Note  To quickly delete a part directly on the layout, click the part label with the arrow pointer, then press Backspace or Delete. You can undo this action.

To delete a part without deleting the objects on the part:

Note  This method only works when there is a part below the one you want to delete.

1.	Select the part label with the arrow pointer.

2.	Press Ctrl-Backspace (Windows) or Option-Delete (Mac OS).

FileMaker Pro deletes the part and enlarges the part below the deleted part to make space on the layout for the retained objects.
