CAPITAL Series 7 Visual Builder Reference Guide

Prev Page Next Page

Page Setup


Select this option to set the anchor margins of the page and the page orientation. For more information on anchors see: Form Design Hints & Tips.

Visual Builder always shows the total physical size of the page. Setting the margins refers not to the margins of the physical page but the margins of the four anchor regions of the page. An anchor is a boundary area that permanently attaches an object to a particular position on the page. An anchor would be necessary if you wanted to position an object, such as a company logo, on a particular location on the page and have it fixed in that position for each subsequent page. Anchors may be necessary for report forms, but usually aren't required on labels or regular forms.
