How to Place Fields an Equal Distance Apart on a Form

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

To place a set of objects on a form and have them equally spaced from each other, follow these steps:

1. Using the mouse, select all the desired objects by:

       - Lassoing all the desired objects at once by clicking and holding the
         left mouse button, and then moving the mouse pointer around all the
         desired objects.
   

         -or-
   

       - Clicking each object in turn as you hold down the SHIFT key.
   

2. To place the selected objects vertically, choose Vertical Spacing from the Format menu; then select the Make Equal option. To place the selected objects horizontally, choose Horizontal Spacing from the Format menu; then select the Make Equal option.

   If, when selecting items to space vertically, you select objects from two columns, the Format Equal Space option will space all selected items to a new location, and unexpected results might occur.
