The Form Arrangement Toolbar
The tools on this toolbar can be used to line up form elements or to
set which one is on top of the others when they overlap. This latter
function is useful for example if you want to create a background
graphic design for your form.
To set the order of overlapping elements, use the
“Bring to Front” and “Send to Back” buttons.
To align the
right/left, top/bottom edges or the centers of the
selected fo
rm elements
horizontally - use the horizontal alignment tools
vertically - use the vertical arrangement tools.
The commands of the Form Arrangement toolbar are also accessible
from th
e shortcu
t menu of any form element.
