Separate label from textbox

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

How can you remove a label from a control layout so you can move and resize the label separate from the other controls?

Remove one or more controls from a layoutRight-click the form in the Navigation Pane, and then click Design View. Select the control that you want to remove from the layout. To select multiple controls, hold down the SHIFT key and then click the controls you want to remove.

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.
