Objects can be distributed or spaced evenly on the page using the Arrange commands.
Distribution and spacing
The distribution of objects involves setting an even distance between specific points on objects.

The spacing of objects ensures there is an equal distance between the edges of each selected object.

Settings
The following settings can be adjusted from the Arrange pop-up panel. Distribution is always carried out within the selection bounds:
Space Horizontally—evenly distributes the selected objects horizontally.
Space Vertically—evenly distributes the selected objects vertically.
- Auto Distribute—when selected (default), the objects are distributed evenly within the selection bounds. If this option is off, a specified distance between objects can be set adjacent to the Auto Distribute option.
Make use of more distribute options by customizing the Toolbar (View>Customize Toolbar).
