Yes, if you want to be able to move/resize the items together, you can group them; but that is not what you asked about in your original post, which only suggested an inablility to create them. I deliberately didn't group them because that makes it harder to move/resize the individual elements and, as I said, I was leaving the fine-tuning of those aspects to you...
