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