On inserting a new label, a text cursor appears at the location where you can enter the desired title. Enter consecutively: Name, Surname, Street, House Number and City. Additionally, on the top of the form insert another label displaying name of the form, i.e. Persons. Enlarge this label's size and increase the font size using in the tab.
