Form beautification...

Question

Hello all, I routinely print some of our completed forms and I'd like to know if a few things are possible: I'd like to center the record name at the top (currently everything pushes to the left) and I'd like to adjust font sizes. Also, every page has the "created by XXX at XXX. Last modified by XXX ...." stuff at the bottom that is really unimportant. I'd like to remove that... but I can't see any way to change this info. Is there an answer out there?

There is a form setting in Form Properties to show / hide built in fields.

I do not know how to Center but I was able to create this field with adding leading spaces to shove it to the right.

" " & [child name]

Thanks for the built in fields tip. A lot of this seems simple, I think i get hung up on the syntax / naming of options. They don't always seem logical to me. I wouldn't have considered that a "built in field."

I'd love to be able to change font sizes, center text, etc., without having to make custom fields every time.

If it is just for printing I would suggest going the route of an Exact form. You can change whatever formatting you want in Word and have it print cleanly.

OK, I finally got the 64 bit exact forms template. This seems like it will be what I need, but I'm having trouble uploading the file. (I have a support case open for that) One question that's nagging me is that the help section mentions that I won't be able to use an exact form with an app that requires application tokens (page will just be blank). I have an application token set up for an external form on our website that allows customers to fill out a contact us form and it will automatically enter their info into our customer table in quickbase. I fear that disabling the app token will break this process for me. This seems needlessly complicated... any experience / feedback on this process?------------------------------Thanks,Chris Newsome------------------------------
