How do you individually resized an Access 2007 form field?

In Access 2003 I could easily select & resize form fields.  They all resize in Access 2007.  How do I break the connection between fields so I can size them individually so I can place them on the same horizontal row if I like?

In Access 2007 you need to click on the Arrange tab - select auto format -  select none.
Once you do this you may need to go back in and change your colors, but you will now be able to resize and move things that were once docked to the form.

Good uck!

I found the AutoFormat, but where is the None value? I droped the AutoFormat & saw a lot of formats, but non "None"
Sorry about that. Once you click on AutoFormat click on the AutoFormat wizard and a list of formats will come up. Select "None" from that list.
I selected None in the Autoformat wizard & all my fields are still resize at the same time.  I can't resize just one.

I had to select the little + to the left of all the controls before I do the remove.  That worked finally.
I had to click on the + selector instead of the actual text box before I could remove the AutoFormat.
