Controlling alignment and spacing between shapes in PowerPoint
Instead of trying to align shapes exactly or space shapes an even distance apart from each other by dragging them manually on the screen, use features from the Drawing toolbar to align or space shapes perfectly.
Both the Align and the Distribute features can be found by clicking the 'Draw' button on the Drawing toolbar.
The Align feature allows you to align shapes along the top, bottom, left, right or middle edges or positions.
The Distribute feature will automatically adjust the position of shapes to create an even amount of space between them, either vertically or horizontally.
Before using either of these features, you need to select the shapes you wish to align or distribute on your slide. This can be done by clicking on one shape, holding down the Shift key and continuing to hold Shift down while you click the other shapes you want to select.
