Is this really possible? I read online it was easy and you just resize the borders
But (Access 2019) doesn't seem to work.

You must drag each control & its label manuallyIs there an easy way, or must each control be done manually?
Good point, Doc. But just where do you turn off the layout option?
If you use the form and report design wizards, they set controls in layout groups. If you then add the option group it might be embedded within layout group. Select all the controls then right click over any control > Layout > Remove layout.
I generally like to use Layout in the initial stages of designing new forms and reports because it helps maintain a consistent row and column position for controls until I am sure how I want to display things. Once I get to a more advanced stage, I do remove it more often than not. It's sort of like training wheels, in a sense, I suppose.Under File >> Options >> Current Database >> Application Options, there is a checkbox of "Enable Layout View" in the lower third of that option list (for Ac 2010.) I keep that unchecked for any new project.
By the way, this grid illustrates one of the things I mentioned. Note that the picture cell is the size of two other cells in height. That's because I merged the two original cells to make the image larger. You could do that with the cells containing an option group (assuming a layout grid what you have), to make it possible to change the layout of controls within the option group.This definitely sounds like it could be layout. To manage layout, you have a couple of options. One is to directly manipulate cells in the layout, but that may or may not be easy, depending on other controls in the same layout.
Another option is to merge adjacent cells. Again, it's specific to each situation and what is in adjacent cells, or if they are empty. However, this approach is one that I like when it is possible. "orane" ==> "orange".
