Align objects horizontally or vertically

The Align Middle command aligns objects horizontally through the middles of the objects. The Align Center command aligns objects vertically through the centers of the objects.

When you align objects relative to each other by their middles or centers, the objects are aligned along a horizontal or vertical line that represents the average of their original positions. No object necessarily remains stationary; all the objects may move.

On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw, point to Align or Distribute, and then click either Align Middle or Align Center.
