When using WPS Shape Alignment, common questions usually focus on distribution, size consistency, and alignment references; this section includes 3 frequently asked questions.
FAQ
What is the difference between Distribute Horizontally and Distribute Vertically?
- Distribute Horizontally keeps the spacing between shapes even across the horizontal direction.
- Distribute Vertically keeps the spacing between shapes even across the vertical direction.
- 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?
- Select multiple shapes first.
- Open the Align menu.
- 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?
- Check whether the current reference is set relative to the object group, the slide, or the last selected object.
- Different reference modes can produce different movement results.
- Select the reference mode again and reapply the alignment command to get a layout closer to what you want.
