Michel,

If you need finer control of how you want the page to render for the text beyond what you can do with simple tags then yes you will need to create controls and position them where you want them on the page. When you use gridlayout then you can position the controls by using the absolute positioning in the html view or by dragging the controls in the design view. Another trick to use if you want to use flowlayout but in a certain location use absolution positioning is to use the Grid Layout Panel found in the HTML tab of the Toolbox. It allow you to use the finer positioning for only certain portions of your page. Be aware that gridlayout (absolute positioning) is not supported in old browsers.

>It is already set like that. There are two issues. The first one is that I cannot take control of that HTML text I paste in the HTML code view. Those are not controls and I cannot manipulate that in the Designer. So, my first question was is it would be better to convert all those items into controls. And, the second question is about how to align the controls for my two text controls exactly where I want them to be within my HTML code.
