How to Evenly Space Objects on a PowerPoint Slide

PowerPoint 98/2000 lets you evenly space objects on a slide so that the slide can look balanced. Use the Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically commands to space three or more objects on a slide.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Microsoft Powerpoint

1. Select the first of three or more objects you want to evenly space.
2. Hold down the Shift key and click the remaining objects you want to evenly space.
3. If the Drawing toolbar isn't present at the bottom of the PowerPoint window, go to the View menu and select Toolbars, then select Drawing to open the Drawing toolbar.
4. Go to the Drawing toolbar and click Draw. A menu opens.
5. Click Align or Distribute, then Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically to align the objects you selected.

Tips & Warnings

• PowerPoint's default leaves the left- and right-most objects and the top- and bottom-most objects in their original positions and evenly distributes only those objects between them.
• To align all of the objects evenly across a slide, select Align or Distribute, then select Relative to Slide.
