Jim,

Attribtes such as field fill color, field border width, text style, text 
color, etc. can be changed in the Inspector on the Appearance tab. (From 
the FileMaker menu in Layout mode select View->Inspector.) If a field is 
selected, attributes for that field will be shown in the Inspector. If 
no field is selected, the defaults for the Field Tool will be displayed.
