Align Objects in PowerPoint

You may not be a Copyright expert, but aligning objects in PowerPoint so that they are evenly spaced and in a straight line can be done using simple PowerPoint commands.

Example: 3 objects that you want to present evenly spaced in a straight line on your PowerPoint slide

Step 1: Make sure your Draw Toolbar is available, if it isn’t, on the menu, select View >> Toolbars >> Drawing

Step 2: Align the objects in a straight line

  • Hold the shift key and use your mouse to click on all 3 objects
  • On the Draw menu, select Align or Distribute >> Align Middle

Photobucket 

 

The slide now looks like the one shown below (all objects are in a straight line).  The next step is to evenly distribute the pictures across the width of the page.
