    Creating Keys

    Hey Guys,
    How do you create "keys" in the layout mode? How do I insert the labels that are used in the plan?
    Thanks!

    A small box that states what the symbols in the plan mean. I guess I need to know how to insert the symbols used in the plan into a text box.

    Ok, I think you mean a macro. In the text DBX you can see the Macro (M) check, click on that and see if the Macro you need is available. If not, you need to make one. Look up Ruby in the help section. Too much info do it justice here. I might still have it wrong though. That's a legend if above is what you mean

    Yes, I forgot the name for a second. A legend is what I am trying to create.
