The Arrange tab provides shortcuts to grid, alignment, positioning , and sizing. It consists of the following groups.

Grid group: The following image displays Grid group:

The Grid group consists of the following items:   

• Snap to Grid: Snaps fields to the grid. When this item is selected fields cannot be placed in between lines of the grid.
• Show Grid: Shows a grid in the background of the report in the preview. The grid can help you place and align fields. By default, this option is selected.
• Lock Fields: Locks and unlocks the fields in the report. After you've placed the fields in the desired positions, you can lock them to prevent inadvertent moving of fields with mouse or keyboard.
• Grid Properties: Opens the C1ReportDesigner Options dialog box. For details see Setting C1ReportDesigner Options.

Alignment group: The following image displays Alignment group:

The Alignment group consists of the following items:

• Left: Aligns the selected field horizontally to the left.
• Right: Aligns the selected field horizontally to the right.
• Center: Aligns the selected field horizontally to the center. 
• Top: Aligns the selected field vertically to the top.
• Bottom: Aligns the selected field vertically to the bottom.
• Middle: Aligns the selected field vertically to the middle.

Note that the elements in a report can be both horizontally and vertically aligned - so, for example, an element can be both left and top aligned.

Position group: The following image displays Position group:

The Position group controls spacing between elements and how elements are layered. It consists of the following items:

• Equalize Horizontal: Equalizes horizontal spacing between selected fields.
• Increase Horizontal: Increases the horizontal spacing between selected fields.
• Decrease Horizontal: Decreases the horizontal spacing between selected fields.   
• Equalize Vertical: Equalizes vertical spacing between selected fields.
• Increase Vertical: Increases the vertical spacing between selected fields.
• Decrease Vertical: Decreases the vertical spacing between selected fields.
• Snap to Grid: Snaps the currently selected field(s) to the nearest grid line(s).
• Bring to Front: Brings the selected field to the front of all layered fields.
• Send to Back: Sends the selected field behind all layered  fields.

Size group: The following image displays the Size group:

The Size group consists of the following items:   

• To Tallest: Sets the height of all selected fields to the tallest field.
• To Shortest: Sets the height of all selected fields to the shortest field.
• To Widest: Sets the width of all selected fields to the width of the widest field.
• To Narrowest: Sets the width of all selected fields to the width of the narrowest field.
