Bring the Halo for your RectangleMorph (right mouse button on Windows 
and Command click on your RectangleMorph on Mac)
1) With the red Icon (this a menu) be sure to select 'Drag and Drop'
2) With the red Icon...select      layout / tableLayout
3) Drop the morphs you want along the left edge, on your RectangleMorph.
Should be topToBottom

Check the project 'TableLayout' on the BobSuperSwiki...BSS, very 
interesting.
