Thanks for the detailed explanation Tony,

A little more experimentation showed that I had to build the 3 x 3 grid 
and then drag the grid layout over my edit box grid, which makes sense. 
Unfortunately, and as previously, the edit boxes assume their full size 
(112 wide x 23 high) and their "geometry" property is greyed out.

I'd like to have the edit boxes 25 x 25 in size without any spacing 
between them.
