2.5 Aligning Parts
It is likely that the Static
text and Entry field parts are not aligned with each other.
Let's now align these parts.
Follow these steps:
- Move the pointer above and to the
left of the Static text part.
- Click and hold the left mouse
button. Move the pointer so that the gray rectangle covers both parts.
- Release the left mouse button. The
two selected parts appear highlighted.
- Move the pointer to the Static

field entry part. Both parts should now be horizontally aligned.
