Aligning and Distributing Objects

 < Day Day Up > 

Keynote provides commands that make it easy to arrange multiple objects so that they all line up with their edges or centers along the same line. You can also distribute objects so that they are arranged, either horizontally or vertically, with equal space between them.

To align objects

1.
Select the objects that you want to align.

2.
Choose Arrange > Align Objects, then choose the kind of alignment you want from the hierarchical menu. Your choices are Left, Center, Right, Top, Middle, and Bottom.

See Table 5.1 to see how the different alignments work.
