You can insert many objects into a template and align them to improve the layout. This is useful in big templates with lots of objects and quicker than selecting them and moving them one by one.

To align several objects so that they line up horizontally or vertically:

  1. Select the objects that you want to align. Template Editor will align the objects according to the left most, right most, bottom or top object in the selection.

    If you hold down the Shift key while dragging, the object is moved only vertically or horizontally, whichever has bigger the offset at the time.

  2. Click Edit > Align and select which sides of the objects you want to align.

    You can also click the related button on the Align toolbar.
