About form letter layouts

A form letter in FileMaker Pro is simply a layout containing text. For this letter, you will include

merge fields so the appropriate company information appears for the address and salutation, and

for the company name in the body of the letter. A graphic is included that depicts the bakery’s logo.

Create a one-page blank layout

You should still be in Layout mode.

1. Click New Layout/Report.

2. For Layout Name, type Welcome Letter.

3. Select Blank layout for the new layout type.

4. Click Finish.

Because this letter will not use a header or footer, you will delete them now.

5. On the layout, click the Header part label, then press Backspace (Windows) or Delete

(Mac

OS).

Tip Layout part labels appear vertically by default. If you can’t read vertical part labels, you can

pause the arrow pointer over labels to display tooltips.

You also can click the part label control in the lower left area of the FileMaker window to

switch between vertical and horizontal part labels.
