layouts may be included as required such as supplements, instructions or related forms. Some form
files may also include several different form layouts using a shared database (such as the 'Special
Provisions for Permits and Franchises' file). Layouts may also be accessed in the 'Preview Mode' or
'Browse Mode' by using the 'Layout Dialog Box' shown below.
