Huh... OK, I guess not... Not sure what I changed to make it all work then.

oh! It will only show in preview mode.

OK, I think I got it. The fields have to be in contact, border-to-border, for it to work. Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the input!

It does! That's exactly what I'm looking for. So I must be missing a setting somewhere? I'm not sure why it doesn't work in my example file...

Huh... that's just merge field behavior though. If that's all there is to sliding, then I really am misunderstanding. Why do graphic items have sliding options? Or a better question might be, if I had a graphic object I want to be up next to the text, can that be done? (File re-added with graphic object below your merge.) Untitled Copy.fmp12

Great tip, thanks! I was able to try it with someone else's copy of 14 and the two text merge fields I expected to slide still aren't, so I guess the background object wasn't the problem. I could be misunderstanding how sliding works. I've attached a simple file with three fields, as an example. On the merge layout I was thinking serialnumber would always print right below address, but it doesn't seem to be doing that. Do I have the concept wrong somehow? Untitled.fmp12

Hi All, I've been away from FileMaker for a while and just recently came back for a personal project. This means I'm using FM 11, which is pretty old now... Anyway! I have a layout with a picture as a background and I'd like to have a graphic slide up based on the text merge field above it, but it doesn't want to slide because of the graphic it's sitting on. Is there a way to have an object ignore a background object for sliding?
