You can change the position and size of any field in your form (or report) and edit the field's properties. To do this you need to be in form design mode (or report view):
Left-click on the field to resize it using the handles and to reposition it by dragging.
To change the properties of a field, left-click on the field to select it and then right-click and select Properties from the drop-down menu (alternatively, left-click on the field to select it and edit individual properties by selecting them from the Format menu). The "Format Object Style" dialog is displayed. Note that the properties accessible in the dialog depend on the type of field you are editing.
