Form Designer: Work with Group Boxes
A group box consists of the box around a group of fields and the label
of the group box if one was added. For example, you may have a group box
labeled Address, which surrounds the Street Address, City, State, and
Zip fields.
Select Group Boxes and Fields
The fields in the group box are not "linked" to the group
box. In other words, if you move the group box, the fields in the box
remain in the same place.
To select the group box and all the fields in it, complete one of the
following actions:
Click outside the group
box and drag the mouse over the entire box to lasso all the fields.
While holding SHIFT, click the group box and each
individual field.
