In addition to Marcus` answer, with FMX (at least the version included in XE5) the easiest way is to just use the Structure View window; it's easiest just to left-click and drag the control from one parent to another, and the form is updated to show the new layout automatically:

Dropping two panels, arranging side by side, and dropping a label on the left panel:

Label on Panel1

Dragging the label (via the Structure View) from Panel1 to Panel2:

Label moved to Panel2

There is a bug in the XE2 IDE which intermittently disables cut/copy/paste from Edit menu.

If you switch between Welcome Page tab and back to the form's tab in IDE, it should temporarily fix the issue and restore cut/copy/paste.
