When I create a form in Access 2007, all of the controls for the fields in the table the form is based on appear (in orange) the same size and shape. If I select one control and try to modify its shape or size, all of the controls are modified in the same way. How can I set Access 2007 so that I can modify individual controls on a form in design mode?

Thanks.
 
Select "Arrange" tab in design view
Select "Remove" under the control layout. 4 icons from left.
 
Thanks. That worked. I wish Access wouldn't apply this "layout" to my forms. Is there any way to change the default?

I really appreciate your help.
