Rectangle solved a similar issue for me, thanks for your post. I'd used rectangles in the past, but guess I needed the reminder. 
I was searching based on the idea that there must be some layout options like in Word, when you paste an image - like inline, floating, etc. Still seems like there ought to be something like that in SSRS, but rectangles are working for my current report.
I also agree with the use of rectangles. They are an organization tool and are meant for this purpose.
The only thing I have to watch out for with rectangles is making sure that what you want inside the rectangle is actually in there. Note the name of the rectangle object. Then after placing your textboxes inside the rectangle select each textbox one-by-one and look at the object properties. There is a property called "parent". If the textbox is inside the rectangle the value of parent will be the object name of the rectangle. Sometimes it can take some trial and error to ensure your objects are inside the rectangle.

One thing I've still not sorted is how to manage tables in Word. The main reports I generate I export to Word, where I do a little final tweaking before saving them to PDF for customer consumption. I suppose the real solution is to get them to a point where they don't need any tweaking, which would be fantastic, but meanwhile I get lost in Word hell trying to manipulate tables so the &$*(^ will print properly. :crying:
Format tab has many options for alignment including horizontal and vertical spacing, make objects the same size, center in form or align in a certain direction.
