Join David Rivers for an in-depth discussion in this video Aligning and distributing objects, part of Publisher 2010 Essential Training.
When you're working with multiple objects on a page in one of your publications…and you need to line them up perfectly, clicking and dragging them manually can…lead to imperfect results. It might not be pleasing to the eye, almost distracting.…So there are some tools to help us line up our objects, but the first step, of…course, is to select them.…We are going to work with our fall version of our TT catalogue…called TTCatalogue4.…Notice we are on page 4, 5 here, and it's on page 5 where we see the objects…that need to be lined up.…
You have to decide whether or not you are going to be lining up relative to the…margins on your page, or relative to one another, and there is a difference.…First of all, we need to select those objects.…So we'll click the first one, hold down your Shift key and click the other three.…Notice all four objects are now selected, meaning we can line them up.…We do that with the Home tab of the Ribbon selected.…In the Arrange Group, you'll see an Align dropdown button.…
