You could always turn the grid off and drag them manually, but it rather depends
how steady your hand is when dragging controls around! :^)
As Mike says, it would be safer to do it in code if there's any chance of running

That could be tricky as a) you appear to live in Australia and I'm in the UK, and
b) I'm teetotal. I'll accept an e-beer and imagine it's a cup of coffee if you like
though! :^)
