Subtitles of the Movie

Also in the view menu you have the ability to show and hide the tool bars that are part of FileMaker. This is one area in which there are slight differences between the Macintosh interface and windows and that reflects the fact that on windows the menu bars are the top of the FileMaker window on the Mac they are at the top of the screen. So the default locations will vary very slightly. The tool bar can start out any place if I move it to the top of the window which may be were it starts, if you have not used it before it will snap into place either at the top of the screen on Mac OS 10 or at the top of the FileMaker window on windows. Now this tool bar is a standard tool bar I can also show a text formatting tool bar. It can also be move to the top I can move these back and forth up here. I can drag them out of the tool bar with this sort of rough area here. If I drag them away from the top they become floating windows that I can move and reshape I can close them. Here I have a tool bar up here move this side and I can drag it out of there and again I can resize and reshape it. Now the text formatting tool bar that shown here has nothing set in it. However when I come into a text field suddenly I can set what change the font, I can change the size do all things that you would expect to do with the tool bar and remember here I have change the font to bold and italic. You remember why you not seeing anything change on the screen. The reason you are not seeing anything change on the screen is because what I have done in insertion point at the end of the field which is where to start when I click in their and I have changed the style values for the text I will type now at the end of field. If I wanted to change the formatting of the existing text in the field I have to highlight some or all of it. I am just going to make the initial ****** larger. So remember to select what it is that you want to do. I can change the alignment and I can change the color of the text. if I look at the standard tool bar this are standard FileMaker commands I can resize and reshape it, if I hover over command you will see that the command itself is shown of the open command has the ability to open recent files these are all standard commands to create a record, duplicate a record, delete a record and again just hover over one of the buttons and after a while you will see the text for what the command is will be displayed. So those the tools bars that you can show, hide dark or move around on FileMaker.
