Distributes selected shapes with equal spacing within the reference object (workarea or slide edge).


Distribute Evenly

Shapes are distributed evenly between the outermost shapes in the selection — the positions of the outer shapes remain unchanged.

Icon Function
Horizontal Distribute horizontally — equal horizontal spacing between all selected shapes
Vertical Distribute vertically — equal vertical spacing

Distribute within Workarea / Slide Edge

Shapes are distributed evenly across the entire workarea or slide edge — including the outer shapes, which are also repositioned.

Icon Function
Workarea Horizontal Workarea — horizontal — distribute shapes across the full width of the workarea
Workarea Vertical Workarea — vertical — distribute shapes across the full height of the workarea
Slide Horizontal Slide — horizontal — distribute shapes across the full slide width

Size Distribution

Configure Spacing

The spacing between shapes during distribution can be set in the Ribbon input field Gap (in pt).
