Align and arrange objects on a slide

Select the objects you want to align.

Select Picture format > Align and select how you want to align them:

• Align Left, Align Center, or Align Right

• Align Top, Align Middle, or Align Bottom

• Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically

Select View > Guides to show the horizontal and vertical center lines.

Select View > Gridlines to show more gridlines.

Use the lines to align your objects.

When you're done, clear Gridlines and Guides to turn them off.

Select an object and begin to move it.

Red dashed lines—smart guides--appear so you align items vertically, horizontally, or both.  Smart guides also appear between objects or near the edges of the slide to help you space out objects evenly.
