Text Boxes Wont Line Up With Fields

I have this one Sales Order Form where it does not matter what I do, I simply can not get the text boxes with the field name to line up vertically with the field itself. So the form field headers look wonky. They look Ok in print preview, but print out of line.

I am a bit mystified bit his one.

Any direction would be great. Thanks

Make sure the field and text objects are left aligned. Also ensure that on you field objects you have not ticked "trim fields" property, as this may cause the data print to shift depending on the data contents.

If all else fails, try deleting the objects that don't align and placing them back on the form. If the print preview looks OK (verifying this by testing different zoom magnifications) but the physical print is out of alignment, double check that the print driver is really correct for your physical printer. For example, a slightly different model for a print driver may cause 'mysterious' differences in physical print results.
