A bound and an unbound control can be paired. When you select a bound control, the unbound control is selected. An example is a field text box (the bound control) and its label (the unbound control). You can reposition these controls as a single unit, or you can reposition them individually.

When you select paired controls, a larger move handle appears in the upper left corner of both the bound and unbound controls. You use these handles to move the controls individually.
