Do one of the following:
Drag the screen control to a new position in the workspace.
Select the screen control, then press the arrow keys to move it in the workspace.
You can constrain the movement of screen controls to either horizontal or vertical by pressing Shift while dragging them.
If a screen control overlaps another screen control in the workspace when you switch from Layout mode to another mode, an alert appears, asking if you want the overlapped controls to be highlighted so you can adjust them before leaving Layout mode.
Do one of the following:
Shift-click the screen controls, then drag them to a new position.
Hold down the Shift key as you drag around the controls, then drag them to a new position.
