How to zoom in and out in designer

edited November 2008 in General
I just switched from fastreport to ReportBuilder. I could not find any way
to zoom in and out to do the finer adjustment of placing the components.
Like I would like to place several fields with frames around to be right
against each other, so there is no gap bewteen the frames . In fastreport,
not only I could push to make the current field to right
behind the previous field, but also I could room in to see the greater
detail. How could I do that in ReportBuilder?

Thanks

    Hi Ray,

    The ReportBuilder designer does not include a zooming feature. This is
    something we would like to add to the product as we move forward.

    Holding the key and pressing an arrow key will allow you to make
    small adjustments to a component on a report. This is similar to the way
    the form editor works in Delphi.

    ReportBuilder 11 also introduced alignment guides to the Report Designer.
    This allows you to align components on a report much easier. If you move a
    component in close proximity of alignment with another component, it will
    show an alignment guide (line) and snap to the same horizontal or vertical
    position.
