You can use the align and distribute tools on the Align palette in the Design palette group to precisely line up and arrange objects on your stationery.
To align or distribute objects, you must first select all the objects you wish to arrange. To select multiple objects, you can either:
You can select any combination of floating objects, whether they are images, text boxes, or monograms. Once the objects are selected, you can use the menu or toolbar to align or distribute them as desired. If the Relative To Stationery button is pressed, all alignment and distribution tools arrange objects relative to the edges of your page. If it is not pressed, the tools arrange objects relative to each other. Below, the objects were aligned to the vertical center and distributed evenly horizontally.
You can group objects together so they are considered one object. Below, the bikini, sunglasses and beach tote are separate images that were grouped.
The Lock button locks the selected objects so that they cannot be modified in any way. When an object is locked, its drag handles are red to indicate that they cannot be used. You can always unlock an object to modify it again.
Pro Extreme offers keyboard shortcuts to some key alignment tools to save you time. Click on an object and use the arrow keys to move the object up, down, left or right pixel by pixel. You can use keyboard shortcuts to automatically position your object relative to the margins of your stationery:
