Evenly distributing fields

[pledbetter]

Besides the ability to align fields in forms and reports, older versions of Access had the ability to evenly distribute fields within a block of selected fields. I cannot find that feature with Access 2007. Does anyone know how to do this is 2007?

Rural Guy,
Thanks for your reply. What I have is a group of fields that are vertically separated by a different number of pixels. There used to be a feature in Access 2003 where you selected a group and clicked (I think it was) "Shape-Distribute" and all the fields would redistribute evenly between the two endpoint fields of the group. I can't find that functionality in 2007.

It is there! Look under the Arrange menu Size/Space.

Sorry, I can't find it. I even did a search on that string and it came up with nothing. I even registered and looked again and still nothing. Can you tell me the path to it?

Thanks

I assume Access 2007. Here's ac2010 but it is the same. It is right in the middle of the DropDown.

Leave it to Microsoft to keep rearranging and renaming things so we have to waste time finding them or waste money for training to find where they hid preexisting functionality. I found it. Thanks, Rural Guy.
