246 Arranging Objects
Aligning and distributing objects
Alignment involves taking a group of selected objects and aligning them all in
one operation by their top, bottom, left or right edges. You can also distribute
objects, so that your objects (as a multiple selection) are spread evenly
(optionally at spaced intervals).
Alignment or distribution can occur between the endmost objects on your page
(current selection), page margins, or the page edge.
Alignment to last selected object lets you choose a specific object in a multiple
selection from which to align other objects.
As other alignment methods, use layout guides, dynamic guides, or a dot grid
combined with snapping to assist you in placing objects on the page. See
WebPlus help for more information.
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 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) or page edge.
