Click on the tag to select it, then right click and select “Copy”. Click somewhere else to unselect the tag, then right click and select Paste twice. Position the tags across the top of the More Mustard square. Click on all three tags while holding down the CTRL button to select them all, then click on Align Objects at the top of the screen. Click Bottom to make the tags all line up. You can move an individual tag by unselecting them, clicking on the tag and using the arrow keys to move it left and right.
