Deleting layout parts
You can delete all but the last layout part from a layout and the objects it holds.
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 (macOS).
FileMaker Pro deletes the part and enlarges the part below the deleted part to make space on the layout for the retained objects.
