How to change the layout of controls on an existing form?

I have some forms I have already designed, on which the controls have the
labels and the input fields vertically above each other.
Now I have decided I would prefer to have them side by side.
I can see that when designing a new form this is done by choosing either
columnar or tabular, but how do you change it from one to the other, later
on??
 
You will have to do it manually. Open the form in design view. Select the
control you want to move and drag it to where you want it. Notice that when
you are dragging a label associated with a control, you have to be sure you
select only the label or you will drag them both.
 
Thanks, but that was not my question.
I do not want to move the whole controls.
I want to change the relationship between each label and its data field.
At the moment they are above each other. I want them side by side.
 
I understood the question, you did not understand the answer. I know you
don't want to move the control. That is why I said be careful to select only
its label so you don't move the control.
