Minor drag adjustment when design forms

[Jane Humbrey]

Hello Friends

Can you tell me how to do a minor adjustment setting when we design a field
width or position. When I design a text box or label I can't move to a
smaller adjustment. When I drag the cursor position of the edge of the
fields it goes to a long distance than I want. How can we control the cursor
movements for minor adjustments(like 0.001mm/0.01mm) when we design a field
in MS Access form?

Jane,
When the object is selected, try using the Shift + Arrow keys to increase
the length to the Left/Right/Top/Bottom by one pixel.
Also, Ctrtl + Arrow keys moves the whole object Up/Down/Left/Right by one
pixel.
Much easier doing "fine" sizing than with the mouse.

The Ctrl+Arrow Keys will move an Access control 1 pixel at a time. The
Shift+Arrow resize 1 pixel at a time.

This behavior changes slightly in Access 2002 and later. There the movement
works without the Ctrl key, and mvoes a gid mark with it.
