Notes

• In general, if you add a form control, it is positioned before the selected control on the form.

• Where the control is exactly positioned on the preview, also depends on:

  • The Append new line property of the previous control and of the added control.

  • The preview style sheet.

• You can use the Up and Down buttons on the Properties tab to move a form control to another position on the form.
