Novice attempts fine tuning of infopath form

[Larry W. Virden]

Hi! I'm working on my first real InfoPath form (that is to say, first
form that isn't being done as part of a training exercise, etc.).

I am trying to figure out how to "fine tune" the location of controls
within the form.

I have a table with a title. Within that, I have several one column
tables. I would like to "scoot" a couple of the one column tables
closer together - for some reason, when these two particular tables
were created, a gap was between them. This makes the form look odd and
so I'd like to be able to scoot the tables around .

In Powerpoint or Word, moving items is as simple as selecting the item
and then using the arrow keys to gently move things around.

In InfoPath, I don't seem to be able to get the same thing to happen.

I also don't seem to be able to locate a property that says where on
the form the particular table should be placed (so I could try
fiddling with the placement coordinates).

Does anyone have either a solution, or a pointer to where I can read
to learn more about such fine tunings?

Thank you very much.

Larry:

There is no absolute positioning. You are heading in the right direction
with layout tables. all you can do is play with the padding inside the
cells and the layout of the outer table to place the inner tables where you
want them.
