Select the controls you want to align, and then from the the "Format" 
menu, select "Align" -> "Middles"

There is a lot of neat stuff in the Format menu.  Also, you can right 
click on the toolbar and add the "Form Editor" toolbar.  It can also be 
customized to add more of the formatting controls that aren't present.
