So when I used Visual Web Developer 2005 Express edition, in the ribbon there was a menu option for "Layout", which you could go through and select positioning and set absolute to default.

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express now, and I see that you can select format from the menu bar, and set position > absolute, for each individual control that you add to the design surface, but is there a place I can just set absolute as the default, like in 2005?

Thanks, Justin
