This area stores controls you’ve already created and customized so you can re-use them. For example, you might created create a dropdown list with your ten branch offices that will be used in several different forms. Instead of creating it from scratch each time, drag it from the form you’re working on and drop it over the shaded area that says “Custom” or click the publish link in the control's properties. The name you see in the Custom tab will be the control’s label; if you can't see the entire label, hover over the control to see the full name. Now open or create another form, and you can drag and drop the published control template from the Custom tab to another form.
