Is there a way to separate a label from a textbox?

I found that this is supposed to work :

  1. Select the controls
  2. Arrange tab
  3. Remove layout

But the remove layout button is always disabled... Probably cause it's only when you use the tabular or stacked option

enter image description here

Is there any other way to do it, or am I doing something wrong?

Please, don't tell me that I have to copy/paste the label and delete the original one.

Thank you

To move a text box (or any control) independently from its label is to click and drag the control using the large grey box in the top left of the control. This allows you complete freedom of placement between the control and label.
