Distributing allows you to uniformly position a number of objects throughout an area.
Distributing Objects over the Area of the Selection
The first set of Distribute options allows you to evenly distribute the objects over the area covered by the original selection.
For instance, if the Left Edge option is selected:
- The leftmost and rightmost objects will remain where they are.
- The other objects will be uniformly spaced out so that there is the same distance between the left edges of each object.
To distribute the objects:
- Select the objects.
- From the Arrange menu, point to Distribute and select the edge or center line that will be used to position the objects.
Original Objects | Left Edge | Right Edge | Top Edge |
Bottom Edge | Horizontal Center | Vertical Center |
Distributing Objects throughout the Design Area
The second set of Distribute options allows you to distribute the selected objects over the entire design area.
- Select the objects.
- From the Arrange menu, point to Distribute and select the edge or center line to be used to position the objects:
Original Objects | |||
Left Edge to Page | Top Edge to Page | Horizontal Center to Page | |
Right Edge to Page | Bottom Edge to Page | Vertical Center to Page |
