Field Layout & Alignment Properties
In Field Layout & Alignment Properties, you can configure properties that apply to a specific field.
Layout & Alignment properties can be set in two places: at the form level and at the field level. Settings made at the form level apply to all elements within the form, except for those elements to which you apply element-level changes. For example, if you want to show all captions aligned to the right on your form, you would make that setting change at the form/global level so that it cascades down to all form fields.
In the Field Layout & Alignment Properties panel, settings that are inherited from the form are shown in gray. Any settings that are set at the field level and override the form settings are shown in black.

In Form Designer, you access the Field Layout & Alignment Properties panel by clicking on the field name in the Form Outline Panel in the upper left corner, then choosing Field Form Layout & Alignment Properties in the lower left corner (unless you've floated the Field Property Panel).
