13. When you finish viewing your label layout, choose View menu > Preview Mode.

You see a page of labels as it will print. 

Notice that not all records have the same number of lines of text. Records with four-line addresses display 
all lines. In records needing only three lines, the extra line is automatically omitted so there is no blank 
line in the labels.

14. When you are finished looking at your label layout, click Exit Preview in the layout bar to return to 

Layout mode.

A form letter in FileMaker Pro is simply a layout containing text. For this letter, you will include merge 
fields so the appropriate company information appears for the address and salutation, and for the company 
name in the body of the letter. A graphic is included that depicts the travel club’s logo.

You should still be in Layout mode.

1. Click New Layout/Report.

2. For Layout Name, type Welcome Letter.

3. Select Blank layout for the new layout type.

4. Click Finish.

Because this letter will not use a header or footer, you will delete them now.

5. On the layout, click the Header tab, then press Backspace (Windows) or Delete (Mac OS).

6. Click the Footer tab, then press Backspace (Windows) or Delete (Mac OS).

7. Drag the Body tab down to about 11 inches.

When you release the mouse button, you should see the page boundary. If you don’t see the page 
boundary, drag the Body tab down farther.
