Alignment controls are available in either the Align tab or from Arrange>Align
Objects....
As other alignment options, tools such as rulers and the snapping grid provide
guides to assist you in placing objects on the page. Snapping lets you align
objects against sticky or non-sticky guides. For details, see Using layout aids
and Snapping (p. 50 and p. 132).
To align the edges of two or more objects in a selection:
1. Using the Pointer Tool, Shift-click on all the objects you want to
align, or draw a marquee box around them, to create a multiple
selection.
2. Select the Align tab.
3. Select an option for vertical and/or horizontal alignment. Choose Top,
Bottom, Left, Right, Center Horizontally or Center Vertically.
To distribute two or more objects:
• Choose Space Evenly Across or Space Evenly Down to
spread selected objects uniformly between endmost objects in the
current selection (horizontally or vertically, respectively) or by a set
measurement (choose Spaced and set a value in any measurement
unit).
Rather than work within the current selection area you can align or distribute to
page margins (if set) or page edge.
To align/distribute objects to page margins or edges:
• Select from the Relative to dropdown
menu to align the selected
object(s) within the page Margins
or Page edges then choose an align
or distribute button described above.
