Drifting layout items

[VirtualBob]

I'm modifying a FileMaker 11 template (time billing) and in copying or moving items, they drift on the screen as the layout is enlarged by stretching its borders. I don't know much about this technique, so I can't seem to fix it. I've tried undoing the anchors in the layout palette. Any pointers as to how to fix it?

working with the anchors is the fix so read up on that in the help file.  Without seeing how the items drift, it's hard to say which anchors to set.  If you do not want objects to move or resize then you need the top and left anchor toggled on, the rest toggled off.

Thanks - I get it now from your description. Peg left anchor first, then nearest horizontal, top or bottom, did the trick for both drifting items.
