FAQ

What is the difference between Distribute Horizontally and Distribute Vertically?

  1. Distribute Horizontally keeps the spacing between shapes even across the horizontal direction.
  2. Distribute Vertically keeps the spacing between shapes even across the vertical direction.
  3. If there are only a few objects or their starting positions are already close, the result may look less obvious.

How do I make multiple shapes the same size?

  1. Select multiple shapes first.
  2. Open the Align menu.
  3. Choose Same Height, Same Width, or Same Size to unify the height, width, or overall size of the selected objects.

Why does the alignment result look different from what I expected?

  1. Check whether the current reference is set relative to the object group, the slide, or the last selected object.
  2. Different reference modes can produce different movement results.
  3. Select the reference mode again and reapply the alignment command to get a layout closer to what you want.
