<h1>Align and arrange objects on a slide</h1>
|
|
<p>The added <b>autoshapes, images, charts</b> or <b>text boxes</b> can be aligned, grouped, ordered, distributed horizontally and vertically on a slide. To perform any of these actions, first select a separate object or several objects in the slide editing area. To select several objects, hold down the <b>Ctrl</b> key and left-click the necessary objects. To select a text box, click on its border, not the text within it. After that you can use either the icons at the <b>Home</b> tab of the top toolbar described below or the analogous options from the right-click menu.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Align objects</h3>
|
|
<p>To <b>align</b> <em>two or more</em> selected objects, </p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Click the <b>Align shape</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignshape"></div> icon at the <b>Home</b> tab of the top toolbar and select one of the following options:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Align to Slide</b> to align objects relative to the edges of the slide,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Align Selected Objects</b> (this option is selected by default) to align objects relative to each other,</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Click the <b>Align shape</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignshape"></div> icon once again and select the necessary alignment type from the list:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Align Left</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignobjectleft"></div> - to line up the objects horizontally by the left edge of the leftmost object/left edge of the slide,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Align Center</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignobjectcenter"></div> - to line up the objects horizontally by their centers/center of the slide,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Align Right</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignobjectright"></div> - to line up the objects horizontally by the right edge of the rightmost object/right edge of the slide,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Align Top</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignobjecttop"></div> - to line up the objects vertically by the top edge of the topmost object/top edge of the slide,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Align Middle</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignobjectmiddle"></div> - to line up the objects vertically by their middles/middle of the slide,</li>
|
|
<li><b>Align Bottom</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignobjectbottom"></div> - to line up the objects vertically by the bottom edge of the bottommost object/bottom edge of the slide.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Alternatively, you can right-click the selected objects, choose the <b>Align</b> option from the contextual menu and then use one of the available alignment options.</p>
|
|
<p>If you want to align a single object, it can be aligned relative to the edges of the slide. The <b>Align to Slide</b> option is selected by default in this case.</p>

|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Click the <b>Align shape</b> <div class = "icon icon-alignshape"></div> icon once again and select the necessary distribution type from the list:

|
<li><b>Distribute Horizontally</b> <div class = "icon icon-distributehorizontally"></div> - to distribute objects evenly between the leftmost and rightmost selected objects/left and right edges of the slide<!--to align the selected objects by their centers (from right to left edges) to the horizontal center of the page-->.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Distribute Vertically</b> <div class = "icon icon-distributevertically"></div> - to distribute objects evenly between the topmost and bottommost selected objects/top and bottom edges of the slide<!--to align the selected objects by their centers (from top to bottom edges) to the vertical center of the page-->.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|

<p>Alternatively, you can right-click the selected objects, choose the <b>Align</b> option from the contextual menu and then use one of the available distribution options.</p>

|
|
<li><b>Ungroup</b> <div class = "icon icon-ungroup"></div> - to ungroup the selected group of the previously joined objects.</li>
