How to Customize the Layout of a Page

You can customize the default layout of some of the pages in My Own Church to meet your needs.


Rearranging Columns

You can rearrange the columns on a page to suit your particular preference for viewing information. After rearranging the columns, you can permanently save your new layout so that the next time you display the page, your new layout is displayed.

  1. Click and hold the left mouse button while dragging the desired column to a new location.

As you drag the column, a double-arrow cursor is displayed at each boundary between the columns. This special cursor lets you know where you can release the mouse button to relocate the column.
