= SUMMARY =

If there is an excessive amount of space between fields when you are in the Database Form view, and the “Slide To Left” feature in the Format Style box is On, check the gap between the fields in the form of your database.

When the Slide To Left option is used, the amount of space that appears between two fields when printed is equal to the amount of space between the two fields on the form. For example:

+--+        +---+ +--+         +---+                            ^- 9 spaces If Field 2 is formatted with Slide To Left, the output will be as follows:
 * Field 1: Contents    |         |Field 2: Contents  |

Field 1 Contents        Field 2 Contents ^- 9 spaces If Field 2 is moved closer to Field 1,

+--+ +---+ +--+ +---+                       ^- 1 space the output will appear as follows:
 * Field 1 Contents     | |Field 2 Contents   |

Field 1 Contents Field 2 Contents ^- 1 space More Information on the Slide to Left feature is contained on Pages 185 and 186 of the “Microsoft Works Reference” version 2.00 manual.
