Changing the inter field space between multiple fields in one go

I`m trying to change the distance between fields in one go. Creating a new table filemaker displays all the fields within that table on a new layout with a certain distance between the fields. I would like to change these distances all at once or be able to determine the distance between fields before filemaker creates the layout.

Perhaps very easy but have been trying a long time with no succes.

To show you what I mean I attached example.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks

This is why they pay us the big bucks. Proper use of white spaces, fonts, sizes, etc. require more than a computer can place on a page.

The tool to use is the Arrange, and distribute.

Read about "Aligning or distributing objects" in the Help.

I tried these tools but don't see how I can modify the white space between the multiple fields at the same time. The "distribute vertical" just spreads the fields evenly between the top and bottom field, but you can't determine the exact distance.

Perhaps I miss a logic step or is there another way to diminish the white space?

I would do this by moving the bottom field up to the approximate position I want the row to end.

Next, I select all of the fields to be arranged, and use the Arrange Vertically.

You will need to tweak it.
