About aligning and arranging objects

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003

You can align objects several ways with Microsoft PowerPoint:

  • With other objects, such as when you align the sides, middles, or top or bottom edges of objects.

Align sides, middles, or edges

  • In relation to the entire slide— for example, at the top or left edge of a slide.

Align in relation to the slide

  • By using guides to align them visually.

Align to guide

  • By using the grid to align them with a corner of the grid as you draw or move the objects.

Align to grid

  • By distributing objects so they are equal distances from each other— either vertically or horizontally, or in relation to the entire slide.

Distribute evenly
