Alignment Toolbar

The "Alignment" tab selects the toolbar that you would use to align a group of components (items) on your page. 

The first step is the select the components that you want to align by holding the shift key down and clicking the mouse on each object that will need to be aligned. If you watch carefully, you will see standard pips appear around each item and these pips will be gray in color. Notice that the alignment toolbar is divided into four areas. The first section (6 tools) control horizontal alignment options. The next section (6 tools) control vertical alignment options. The third set of 4 tools move component(s) to the foreground or background. While the last set of 4 tools will tap (move) components in the direction shown. The visibility of the all tools shown on the bottom row are controlled by settings in the Alignment section of the Designer Tab in the Preferences area.

HINT

The tap tools have a speed key assigned to them. It is the Ctrl key plus the arrow key of the direction you wish the selected component(s) to move.
