FAQ
Q1: What is the reference when aligning multiple images?
- Solution: It depends on the alignment reference setting. When 'Relative to Slide' is selected, the slide boundaries are used as the reference; when 'Relative to Object Group' is selected, the boundaries of the selected images are used; when 'Relative to Last Selected Object' is selected, the last selected image is used as the reference.
Q2: How to arrange multiple images with equal spacing?
- Solution: After selecting multiple images, click the Align button and choose Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically to arrange them with equal spacing.
Q3: What is the difference between Same Height and Same Width?
- Solution: Same Height adjusts all images to the same height, while Same Width adjusts all images to the same width. Same Size adjusts both width and height to the same values.
