Arranging Items in a box

[teastrainer]

I'm following a tutorial thing and I'm not too sure (it doesn't say) how to neatly arrange check boxes within a box in a form?

They're all scrunched up, what I wanted to do was select size / space and reduce the vertical spacing, but for some reason that's unavailable.

If I select stacked it pushes them outside of the box...

Not sure how to go about this?

Thanks.

I think you have put the controls in a "Control Layout", click on a control, then on "+" sign.
Select the "Arrange" tab on the ribbon and click the "Remove Layout", (the 4 icon from left).

I put the controls inside a rectangle...?

I'm not actually seeing that little cross hair thing :/

Hey, OK I found the little grey cross hair I think I had to delete the rectangle first though, I'm not sure...

Any way, I deleted the rectangle, clicked the cross hair and removed the layout. Which allowed me to change the spacing like you said

Then I put the rectangle in retro and sent it to the back

I'm only recently learning Access so sorry about the basic question, thanks for answering though, and if there's anything I should check / could do better it'd be great to know
