Using the Design Workspace

OK this part is tricky. As you can see, the combo box needs more room. We need to add more workspace. The workspace is the area with the blue-ish checkerboard background. If you move your mouse pointer along the bottom edge, you'll see a hand appear. As soon as the hand appears, click and drag to the right. The entire combobox moves as you drag. Also, the workspace increases as you drag, When the left end of the combobox is clear of the objects it was overlapping, you can stop dragging.

Your new workspace should look something like the above picture. Notice the extra space on the right? However, If the control is not where you want it, move it until it suites you. The above picture shows where I placed it:

because the Find Address name is clipped off and the other part needs to be longer to accommodate long names. To change the lengths of these controls, you click the combobox once to get the handles, then drag the width handle to the desired width. The picture on the next page shows how I changed them:
