Working with rows and columns in List mode

List mode allows you to view and work with many records at once. In List
mode, you see all the fields in your database in a columnar layout. To work
in List mode, choose List from the Layout menu.

You work with records in List mode much like you do in Browse mode: you
can enter data, select, hide, or sort records, or create new records. In addition,
you can resize or format rows and columns, and reorder the columns.

Selecting rows and columns

In List mode, you select a row or column with a single click. Select multiple
rows or columns when you want to resize or reformat several at once.
