Align fields side by side

Hello,

I am trying to add a new field in a table and I want it to align to the right of the existing field but it will only align above or below it.

I think I have been through every single setting in Livecycle and I cannot get it to work. I have literally spent HOURS trying to sort this out. Does anyone know what I need to change to allow the field to be side by side?

Thanks in advance

Christine
