Professional Litigation User Services (PLUS) is a company that creates all types of visual aids for judicial proceedings. Clients are usually private law firms, although the District Attorney's office has occasionally contracted for its services. PLUS creates graphs, maps, timetables, and charts, both for computerized presentations and in large-size form for presentations to juries. PLUS also creates videos, animations, presentation packages, and slide shows-in short, anything of a visual nature that can be used in a judicial proceeding to make, clarify, or support a point.

Resize all columns in the subform to their best fit. Take a screen shot of the first main record and its displayed subform records.
- Navigate to the second record in the subform for the first main record, and then change the AmtPaid field value to 1,800.00.
- Use the Find command to move to the record with the Firm# 1142 and delete the record. Answer Yes to any warning messages about deleting the record.
- Use the appropriate wildcard character to find all records with the abbreviation "DA" (for District Attorney) anywhere in the firm name. (Hint: You must enter the wildcard character before and after the text you are searching for.) How many records did you find?
Close the Firm Payments form. Make a screen shot for the search window with the search string you use
