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

  1. 1
    Select two or more shapes on the slide that you want to align.
  2. 2
    Click the matching alignment button in the Alignment group on the SkySuite ribbon.
  3. 3
    Choose Top, Middle, or Bottom for vertical alignment.
  4. 4
    Choose Left, Center, or Right for horizontal alignment.
  5. 5
    The 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.
