Grouping, aligning and spacing your elements
Have you ever tried lining up and spacing art elements on your page, like alphabet letters, and been frustrated by your inability to get them exactly right? You can eliminate this problem by using the new Align and Space features.
- Group your items together by clicking on the
first item and then holding down the Shift key on
your computer keyboard as you click on the
remaining items. As you do this, you will see the
green outline expand to surround all of the items
in your group.
- Next click on one of the Align buttons to line up
all of the objects evenly. You can line them up
according the top of the objects, the bottom,
either side or align them according to their
centers.
- Once all of your objects have been aligned and
are in an even vertical line, you can click one of
the Space buttons to evenly distribute the items
horizontally, in other words, putting an equal
amount of space between each object. If you have
a vertical stack of objects, you can use the Space
button to put an even amount of space between
the tops and bottoms of each object as well.
- When you click off of the objects, the grouping
will be broken and each object will move on its
own again.
