Editing the Packing Slip
-------------------------------------

Start up the data base so you are looking at the main browse layout screen.

You can go to the Scripts menu at the top of the screen and choose Toggle Status Area. This is just a short script to display the status area.

You will see the gray status area appear on the left side of the screen.

Go to the View Menu at the top of the screen and and choose layout mode.

Go to the left at the top of the status area to the right of the word Main and hold your mouse button down. When the layout menu appears, slide down to the Packing Slip choice.

Leave the blue button "Back to browse Mode" alone. It doesn't print with the packing slip and is strictly navigational.

The gray boxed in area shows tools such as the selection tool, text tool, button tool, portal tool and others. You can use these Tools to edit any part of the packing slip. The Captial A inside the box is the text tool. Just use the text tool( for now) to edit the packing slip. If you are unfamiliar with the use of other tools, I recommend you learn about them BEFORE you use them. You will probably want to edit the text near the bottom of the packing slip to your name and address.

When you are done editing, go to the View Menu at the top of the screen and and choose Browse mode.

You can "click" in the upper left active window box to close the entire database. Then start the database from the original file and take a look at your finished packing slip.
