Property Inspector
When you start the Frame Editor, the Property Inspector appears automatically. This floating window lets you set properties for the current frame and each field on a form.
The left column of the Property Inspector lists all properties that can be specified for the current frame or selected field, and the right column contains the corresponding value cells where you select or specify a value. The Property Inspector also includes a Select Named Field drop-down menu, a Currently Selected Field entry, and a Select Attributes to Display drop-down menu.


Select a Field
The Select Named Field drop-down menu at the top of the Property Inspector's window lets you switch to any field already defined on the frame.
To select a field
Click the down arrow to the right of this menu, and then select any field from the list of fields displayed.
The name of the selected field is displayed in the Currently Selected Field entry field, and the Property Inspector displays the properties applicable to the selected field.
