About This Feature
Overview
Alignment is a layout tool in WPS Presentation that helps place multiple shapes, text boxes, or other selectable objects along the same edge or center line. It is useful for cleaning up slide layouts, keeping spacing more consistent, and making presentation pages easier to review.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Align menu: access alignment commands from the Drawing Tools tab.
- Apply basic alignment: align selected objects by left edge, center, top edge, and similar options.
- Continue with more settings: open the related settings panel for further layout adjustment.
Common scenarios: courseware layout, report slide cleanup, and mixed text-and-image page adjustment.
Problems it helps solve: uneven object placement and slow manual layout cleanup.
Distinct behavior: the entry is grouped in the Drawing Tools area, which supports a continuous editing flow while working on slides.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can open the Align menu from Drawing Tools, align selected objects, and continue to More Settings for further adjustment. | Microsoft Office supports aligning multiple objects by left, right, top, bottom, and center, and its official guidance also covers distribution, grids, and guides in some scenarios. | Google Slides official help highlights object movement, grouping, stacking order, and object arrangement shortcuts. | Notion lets users align media blocks left, center, or right, and also move media blocks with drag and drop. | Adobe official help in this reference mainly explains vertical text alignment inside a text frame, such as top, center, bottom, or justify. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the entry is placed directly in the slide editing interface under Drawing Tools; Distinct: it fits a workflow where you select objects, align them, and continue adjusting in one place. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft official guidance covers a broader set of object arrangement scenarios, including equal distribution and guide-based alignment. | Compared with WPS: Google official content in this result set focuses more on moving and arranging objects than on a full align menu flow similar to presentation object alignment in WPS. | Compared with WPS: Notion alignment applies mainly to media blocks in a page layout, rather than fine-grained multi-object slide layout. | Compared with WPS: Adobe help here is focused on text inside frames, not a slide-based multi-object alignment workflow. |
| Official Source | — | Align or arrange objects | Keyboard shortcuts for Google Slides | Images, files & media | Aligning text |
Overall Conclusion: If your main task is arranging multiple objects quickly inside presentation slides, WPS keeps the alignment entry close to the slide editing workflow. Microsoft documents a wider arrangement range, while the official materials found for Google, Notion, and Adobe focus more on object movement, media block layout, or text alignment inside frames.
