I'm using a Mac and don't know how to left double click the field. If I control 
click or two-finger click the field I get a menu: Position and Size..., 
Description..., Name..., Control..., Form..., etc.

Are font and colors etc. in one of these sub-menus or how do I left double 
click?

I found Label Field in Properties: Formatted Field menu and it looks like I 
might have to create label fields for all the input fields. Sigh.

Thanks,

Craig
