>>>When I copy a control from a form and paste it onto the same form, the new control is placed a little down and to the right of the current control. Is there any way to alter how far down and how far over?

>>You cannot do this directly.

>>But you can:
>>*place the controls roughly where you want them
>>*select all of them
>>*use the format/vertical spacing/make equal menu
>>*use the format/vertical spacing/increase or decrease menu until you reach the needed spacing
