how to move many controls as a group?

[Guest]

I need to move 60 controls on a report a small amount to the left. I don't
want to shift-click on every one. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

You can select multiple controls at one time and then move then together.

You can "lasso" all of them by dragging the mouse across the whole group
to select them all; then you can move them all.

If they are all in the same area try dragging around/through them to select
them all.

If they are all vertically or horizontally aligned, click in the appropriate
ruler to select all of them that are aligned with the spot on the ruler that
you have clicked.

If you get a few too many objects, you can Shift_click to remove them from
the selection.

If you need to select EVERY control then click anywhere in the window and
type Control + A to select All.
