About This Feature
Overview
WPS Icon Alignment is an object arrangement feature in WPS Presentation for aligning, distributing, and sizing multiple icons against a consistent reference.
Core tasks include:
- Align from Drawing Tools: Open the Align menu on the Drawing Tools tab, choose an alignment reference, and apply commands such as Align Left, Align Right, Center, Align Top, Align Bottom, and more.
- Align from the Home tab: Open Home > Arrange > Align to complete common alignment actions from the main ribbon.
- Align from the floating toolbar: After selecting multiple icons, use the floating toolbar to open Align without switching tabs.
Common use cases include flowcharts, infographic slides, and cover-page icon layouts. This feature helps reduce manual positioning errors and keeps multiple icons visually consistent.
