I must be doing something wrong. I waste so much time modifying FileMaker=B9s
default layouts just so I can see my data.

Here's the issue. Let's say I have a database with 100 fields and some of
the field names are very very long. I create a default layout simply so I
can view all of my data. Inevitably, I get an unusable layout with many of
the longer field names overlapping the fields.

So then I being the laborious task of adjusting the layout. I start by
moving everything in the layout over a few inches. Next comes the annoying
task of trying to separate the field names from the fields. Sometimes the
field name completely obscures the field so this requires me to click each
and every field instead of being able to just drag and select them all at
once.

What am I doing wrong? How can I tell FileMaker to start with the field
positions near the middle of my 23" wide display instead of jamming them all
up just an inch or two from the left side?
