= SUMMARY =

Use the following procedure in Works version 2.00 to change the field size on the form screen when designing a database:


 * 1) Select the field you want to change.
 * 2) Choose Format Field Size (ALT, T, Z).
 * 3) Type in a width between 1 and 256 and a height between 1 and 256.
 * 4) Press ENTER.

If the error message “Cannot Put Item Here” is encountered while using this command, the field you want to size would have overlapped another field on the form. You must move the field to another location.

Additional information on Field and Column Size is contained on Page 204 of the “Microsoft Works Reference” version 2.00 manual.
