The Properties Pane displays the property sheet for the currently selected sub-item (table, report, label, query, etc.), report section (report header, page header, detail, page footer, report footer), or design component (text field, bar code, rectangle, etc.).

 

 

You can edit the properties in this pane by typing new values directly into the fields or making new selections from the drop-down lists. As well, the values in these fields will update automatically as you make relevant changes in the Design Window.
