selected control as reference, one or more other controls situated on the report sheet can be aligned
horizontally. The control or controls will move to the left or the right to end up completely aligned on the
page. If this option is used with the “Control” button pressed each of the controls selected will be
aligned independently.

control as reference, one or more other controls situated on the report sheet can be aligned vertically.

‘Control’ key while left clicking the controls to be re-sized. The last control selected will used as a
reference for re-sizing the others, i.e., all the selected controls will end up with a horizontal dimension
equal to the last control selected.

reference to the vertical size of the last control selected.
