Add and align a group of labels and controls
- In design mode, place the insertion point where you want to add the labels and controls.
- On the Insert menu, click Layout Table.
- In the Insert Table dialog box, enter the number of columns and rows you want in the table, with at least two columns and at least one row for each control, and then click OK.
- In the first column of the table, type the labels. In the second column, insert the controls.
- To change the formatting or alignment of the labels, use the options on the Formatting toolbar.
- To change the properties of the layout table, click the table, and then click Table Properties on the Table menu.
The label may appear slightly lower on your form than the text inside a text box, rich text box, expression box, or date picker control. To quickly align a label with one of these types of controls, follow these steps:
- Right-click the control, and then click Control Properties on the shortcut menu.
- Under Align control with label on the Size tab, click Align.
Notes
- When you insert a field or group into the form from the Data Source task pane, the control's label is created automatically. To prevent this, on the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click the Design tab, and then clear the Create labels for controls automatically when adding from data source check box.
