Office 2010 Access 2010 improved layouts

Access 2007 introduced a new concept called Layouts. The most useful scenario for the feature was tabular reports. It makes it very easy to resize and rearrange columns compared to the pre-Access 2007 days with absolute position. Layouts in Access 2010 are much more flexible—allowing you to split columns and cells similar to tables. In many ways,Office 2010, this makes it easier to keep controls aligned. I could tell you all about it but this is one of those features that is much easier to show than describe. Chris from the User Assistance team has put together a super useful video helps people get started quickly with layouts: One tip Chris didn’t mention in the video was keyboard support. You move selection through cells with TAB and SHIFT TAB. Shift Arrow resizes controls and ALT Arrow moves the control to a different cell. You also will notice him deleting controls and then deleting the row. He could have used the new Delete Row and Delete Columns commands that were added after the Technical Preview.
