Aligning and distributing objects

The Align commands align selected objects along the axis you specify. The Distribute commands spread objects evenly along the horizontal axis or vertical axis.

To align or distribute objects:

1. Select the objects to align or distribute.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose Object > Align > Left, Right, Top, or Bottom to align the selected objects along the left, right, top, or bottom edge of the selected object. For example, the Align > Left command aligns all objects along the left edge of the far-left selected object.
• Choose Object > Align > Horizontal Centers or Vertical Centers to align the centers of the selected objects midway between the left edge of the leftmost object and the right edge of the rightmost object (Horizontal), or the top edge of the topmost object and the bottom edge of the bottommost object (Vertical).
• Choose Align > Centers to align the objects at the center of all selected objects.
• Choose Distribute > Horizontal or Vertical to spread selected objects evenly along the horizontal or vertical axis so that their centers are equidistant.
