Access 2007
Making Forms Attractive
Working with titles
One of the easiest things to change on the form is the title, which appears in the form header with the icon or logo.
To change the form title
- Click the Title command in the Controls group on the Ribbon.
Title Command - When the title highlight appears, type the new title, then hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
Note: The title does not affect the name of the form and vice versa.
Changing text on the form
Access, like all Microsoft Office 2007 products, allows you to change the font style, text size, text color, and alignment. It also lets you apply bold, italics, or underlines to the text. All of this is done from the Ribbon, as seen in the following diagram.
