Aligning Objects
You can align objects much in the same way that you align text. Select the objects you want to align, click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar, choose Align or Distribute from the menu, and then select one of the following menu options:
Align Center Aligns selected objects horizontally by their center.
Align Middle Aligns selected objects vertically based on their middle point.
Distribute Horizontally Aligns three or more selected objects horizontally across the slide.
Distribute Vertically Aligns three or more selected objects vertically across the slide.
Relative to Slide Aligns selected objects relative to the slide, rather than the other objects. For example, if you choose Relative to Slide and Align Left, all objects align to the left of the slide itself, rather than to the object that is farthest to the left.
Nudging Objects
If you want to move an object only incrementally, you can nudge it. To do this, select the object you want to nudge, click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar, choose Nudge, and then select one of the following directions: Up, Down, Left, or Right. You may need to nudge an object several times to achieve the desired results.
Tip
Alternatively, you can also select an object and use the arrow keys to nudge the object in the direction of the arrow.
Snapping to a Grid or Shape
When you align or move objects, the objects snap to an invisible grid, which guides their positioning. If you want to use other objects as a positioning guide, you can snap to shapes. To choose these options, click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar, choose Snap, and then select To Grid or To Shape. To Grid is the default option.
