Pages represent the canvas on which you build your form design. To lay out a form design, you drag objects, such as Text Fields, from the Object Library palette onto the page. Use the Design View tab to view, add, delete, and edit pages.

To show or hide a page

You can show or hide pages in a form design by using different methods:

To show the Design View tab if another tab is active, in the Layout Editor, click the Design View tab.
To show or hide the Design View tab, select View > Design View.

To add a page

You can add a page by using the Insert menu or Hierarchy palette.

If the Hierarchy palette is not visible, select Window > Hierarchy.

To add a page, click the Design View tab and select Insert > New Page.
To add a page in the Hierarchy palette, right-click the required page-level subform and select New Page.

To delete a page

You can delete a page by using the Insert menu or Hierarchy palette.

if the Hierarchy palette is not visible, select Window > Hierarchy.

To delete a page, click anywhere on the page and select Edit > Delete Page.
To delete a page in the Hierarchy palette, right-click the page-level subform that corresponds to the page and select Delete.

To move between multiple pages

If your form design has multiple pages, you can easily move from one to another by using the Layout Editor or Hierarchy palette.

If the Hierarchy palette is not visible, select Window > Hierarchy.

In the Design View tab, scroll up or down to the required page.
In the Hierarchy palette, click the required page.

To reorder pages

If you need to change the order of the pages, you can use the Hierarchy palette.

If the Hierarchy palette is not visible, select Window > Hierarchy.

In the Hierarchy palette, select the subform that corresponds to the page you want to move.
Drag the subform to a new position below the “form1” node.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all the pages are in the order you prefer.

To rename a page

You can change the name of a page by using the Hierarchy palette or the Binding tab of the Object palette. The default name of a page node in the Hierarchy palette is “(untitled Subform) (page 1)”, “(untitled Subform) (page 2)”, and so on.

If the Hierarchy palette is not visible, select Window > Hierarchy.

In the Hierarchy palette, right-click the page node and select Rename Object. Type a new name for the page.
With the Design View tab selected, click anywhere on the page, click the Object palette and, in the Binding tab, type a new name for the page.
