Converting an Item to a Different Type

To convert an item to a different item type:

  1. In the Object Navigator or the Layout Editor, double-click the item you want to convert to display the Property Palette.
  2. Under the General node, set the Type property to the desired item type.
When an item is converted to a different item type, the properties of the new item are set as follows: For example, when you convert a text item to a check box, the Label property (which applies only to check box items) is set to the default setting, but the Data Type property (which applies to both text items and check boxes) retains its current setting.
