Alignment
Six one-click ribbon buttons for aligning selected shapes - top, bottom, left, right, vertical center, and horizontal center - using PowerPoint's smart guides for precise positioning.
When to use it
- Snapping a row of logos to a clean horizontal baseline.
- Centering a stack of callout boxes on a section divider.
- Lining up icons in a process flow without dragging by eye.
- Distributing labels uniformly across a chart or diagram.
How it works
- 1Select two or more shapes on the slide that you want to align.
- 2Click the matching alignment button in the Alignment group on the SkySuite ribbon.
- 3Choose Top, Middle, or Bottom for vertical alignment.
- 4Choose Left, Center, or Right for horizontal alignment.
- 5The shapes snap into place using PowerPoint's smart-guide positioning.
Tips & shortcuts
- You can keep clicking different alignment buttons in sequence to fine-tune position.
- The tool only runs when shapes are selected - selecting text or placeholders is ignored.
- Middle aligns vertical centers; Center aligns horizontal centers. Easy to mix up.
- Use Ctrl+Z to undo any alignment that does not look right.
