Aligning and distributing objects

You can easily move objects on the page so they are aligned along an edge or their center. You can also move objects so they are distributed across the page or between other objects.

To align or distribute objects

1. Select all the objects you want to move.

2. From the Arrange menu, choose Alignment.

3. In the dialog box, choose whether you want to move the objects within the bounding box of the selection, the page or the spread (if you have more than one page).

4. From the Vertical Position drop-down list, choose how you want the objects to move vertically.

5. From the Horizontal Position drop-down list, choose how you want the objects to move vertically.

6. When the diagram at the top of the dialog box shows what you want, click Apply.
