The Design menu provides commands that facilitate regular spacing
and alignment of controls.
Use this procedure to regulate spacing of objects relative
to one another. All space calculations are relative to horizontal or vertical edges
of the affected objects.
Select two or more objects between which you want to adjust spacing. In most cases, the
first object that you select - the base object - will not move; the objects that
you select subsequently will move in response to the commands you choose. (An
exception to this rule may occur with the Make Equal
command.)
Select Format > Horizontal Spacing or Format > Vertical Spacing, and choose the appropriate command:
Make Equal - The outermost objects remain in
their original position, while any objects between those objects move so
that all are equally spaced.
Increase - Space equal to the grid width or
grid height value specified in your preferences is added to the existing space between each pair
of objects.
Decrease- Space equal to the grid width or
grid height value specified in your preferences is removed from the existing space between each
pair of objects.
Remove - All horizontal or vertical space
between each pair of objects is removed, so that an edge of each object
is horizontally or vertically adjacent to an edge of the next.
