Adjusting spacing between page elements
The horizontal or vertical spacing between page elements can be easily made equal, increased, decreased, or removed to achieve a well-aligned design.
Steps to Adjust Spacing
1. Select Elements
- Select at least two page elements that you want to adjust. (See Selecting Page Elements for details.)
- Mark one element as the primary selected item.
2. Open Spacing Options
- Click Spacing on the Elements menu.
- Choose Horizontal or Vertical, depending on which direction you want to adjust the spacing.
3. Choose a Spacing Option
| Menu Item | Function |
|---|---|
| Equal | Make the spacing equal between all selected elements. |
| Increase | Increase the spacing between all selected elements. |
| Decrease | Decrease the spacing between all selected elements. |
| Remove | Remove the spacing so elements are next to each other without gaps. |
Remarks
- At least two elements must be selected to enable spacing adjustments.
- Adjustments are made relative to the primary selected item.
Example: When removing spacing, all other elements move toward the primary selected item. - If Snap to Grid is enabled:
- Spacing adjustments will move elements by one grid point.
- If Snap to Grid is disabled:
- Spacing adjustments will move elements by one pixel.
