PHPRunner General questions

Hi Forum Members,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but being new to PHPR 4.1 and the visual editor, I am not finding how to customize the format of my add/edit/list pages. I have watched the video on the WYSIWYG video editor, but I don't see how to do what I what.
Lets take the add page for example. I have 6 fields. By default, PHPR places the fields in order down the page vertically in 2 columns.

The field label The field.
I wish to reformat how the page is displayed.
Label-1 Field-1 Label-2 Field-2
Label-3 Field-3 Label-4 Field-4
Label-5 Field-5
Label-6 Field-6
Is this possible using the visual editor? If I add columns and move labels and fields and delete empty rows, then build the project, it seems to scramble the fields, not keep them aligned, etc. Other than spend hours trying to figure out exactly how to do this, I would just as soon edit the html code, which I can do using the html editor, but isn't that what the WYSIWYG is for? If we can drag and drop the fields, why can't we drag and drop the labels too? Or maybe we can, and I just don't know how to do it.
Are there more video's or docs to read which would explain the proper way of doing what I want to do without spending alot of time with trial and error?
Thanks for any advice.
Dave
