Can I move multiple Guideline Handles at once?

[JonAtHQ]

I have a report w/ many columns, outputing to a spreadsheet. One column is too narrow. So, I want to several columns at once over the right a bit. I do know how to move multiple fields at once. But the guidelines don't go with the fields. If I grab a Guideline Handle, only one field moves. Since my columns are all anchored to Guidelines, I'd like to grab multiple Guideline Handles at once, and move everything over to the right. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks.

The only way to resize multiple fields at the same time is to multi-select then right click, 'Size and position'.

Guidelines are very limited and frustrating - just try having a guideline on both right and left of a field. Then click bold - one gets dropped as the field resizes rather than staying locked.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was able to multi-select the fields and move them to the right. But I removed all the guides first so that the alignment wouldn't be reset as the fields passed over the guides to their right.

Yes, guides are a dissapointment.
