RE: Aligning shapes

Hi Tracey

To align shapes, you must select the shape you want to align to FIRST, and then select the others. This then becomes the Primary Reference shape, to which the others will align to.
You will know this by the slightly thicker pink/purple outline on the primary shape.
Simply use the Ctrl Key to click and highlight the shapes.

Once that is done, Click SHAPE > ALIGN, and choose from the 6 options available.

Regards

Richard

Visio tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Visio 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Visio 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
