Arranging a table like layout

You position objects in a table-like layout to get evenly spaced rows and columns.

To arrange a table-like layout:

1. In Graphics Editor, in the work area, select the objects for the top row, in order from left to right.
2. On the Options toolbar, click the Align button and then click Top. The selected objects align to the same horizontal height.
3. Select the objects that belong to the leftmost column, in order from top to bottom.
4. On the Options toolbar, click the Align button and then click Left. The selected objects align to the same left, vertical line.
5. Depending on the pattern and row/column distance you want, group the objects, row-by-row or column-by-column.
6. Position the top/bottom rows, or the leftmost/rightmost columns.
7. Select all groups, comprising either rows or columns.
8. On the Options toolbar, click the Distribute button and then click Vertical if the rows have been grouped, and Horizontal if the columns have been grouped.

The rows or columns are distributed evenly between the outermost rows/columns. If necessary, you continue to do adjustments by using the Align and Distribute commands on individual objects or groups.
