The Layout menu provides commands for arranging objects in a form design.

Align > Left: Aligns the left edges of the selected objects to match the position of the object in the selection that was selected last.
Align > Right: Aligns the right edges of the selected objects to match the position of the object in the selection that was selected last.
Align > Top: Aligns the top edges of the selected objects to match the position of the object in the selection that was selected last.
Align > Bottom: Aligns the bottom edges of the selected objects to match the position of the object in the selection that was selected last.
Align > Vertical Center: Aligns the vertical midpoint of the selected objects.
Align > Horizontal Center: Aligns the horizontal midpoint of the selected objects.
Align > To Grid: Aligns the selected objects to the closest grid point.
Distribute > Across: Evenly distributes the selected objects horizontally.
Distribute > Down: Evenly distributes the selected objects vertically.
Distribute > In Rows & Columns: Aligns and evenly distributes the selected objects in rows and columns.
Center in Page > Horizontally: Centers the selected objects horizontally on the form design.
Center in Page > Vertically: Centers the selected objects vertically on the form design.
Make Same Size > Width: Changes the size of the selected objects to match the width of the object in the selection that was selected last.
Make Same Size > Height: Changes the size of the selected objects to match the height of the object in the selection that was selected last.
Make Same Size > Both: Changes the size of the selected objects to match the height and width of the object in the selection that was selected last.

Merge as Caption: Merges the contents of a text object and a field object that has its caption set to none into a single object. The new object’s caption becomes the text from the text object. The new object's size and position matches the total boundaries of the merged objects.
Wrap in New Radio Button Group: Wraps the selected radio button objects into a single object.
Merge Radio Button Groups: Merges selected radio button groups (or at least one selected radio button group and one or more selected radio buttons) into a single radio button group.
Bring to Front: Moves selected objects to the foreground.
