3. Select an option for vertical and/or horizontal alignment.
Choose Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Centre Horizontally or
Centre Vertically, i.e.
To distribute two or more objects across a selection:
• 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), page/spread edge, or last selected
object.
To align/distribute objects to page margins, edges, or across
page spreads:
• Select from the Relative to
drop-down list to align the
selected object(s) within the
page Margins, Page edges, or
Spread (for facing pages) then
choose an align or distribute
button described above.
For more advanced alignment control, you can align multiple objects in
relation to your last selected object (select objects in turn with the Shift
key pressed) by using the Relative to: Last Selected drop-down list
option. The last selected object is shown with a darker bounding box
when compared to other selected objects.
For marquee selection, the lower-most object in the Z-order, i.e. on
the object's layer, is considered the last selected.
