maximum height and width, respectively, a
box can attain when the E-Notebook
window is resized or as the form is further
configured in a way that would increase the
size of the box (for example, by deleting a

Hiding Fields and Boxes
when Configuring a Form
When you are configuring a form, hiding fields and
boxes makes it easier for you to access box menus.
Hiding a Box
You may wish to hide a box if, for example, you
wish to access the box that contains it in a form.
NOTE: If you would like a box to simply conform to the
sizes of the boxes it contains, you can deselect all of the sizing
options for that box.
Clearing Fields when
Configuring a Form
When you are configuring a form, you may remove
a field after adding it to the form. It is only possible
to clear the field if the form is not yet in use. If the
form is in use, the field will move to an empty box.
(This prevents the possibility of obscuring data that
a user has entered in a form).
To clear a field from a box,
1. Right-click the frame of the box.
The box menu appears.
To hide a box,
