Use Alignment Tools
You have placed the objects on the label. Now you want to make sure they are aligned on the
horizontal center of the label. You can align objects on the label by using the
Align Toolbar on
the right side of the working window.
To align objects on the label, do the following:
1. In the Toolbox, choose a select arrow and draw a frame around all objects to select all
objects.
Note • The first object you select determines the alignment orientation for all selected
objects.

Snap to Grid is available in the
View menu.
