Press Ctrl+A to select all graphic objects to be aligned.

Under home tab, in the Drawing section of the ribbon, choose Arrange> Align > Align Selected Objects .

Align Relative to Slide - To align objects relative to the slide, you need to make sure that there is a check mark beside the Align to

Slide option.

Once you have made the choice to align objects to the slide boundaries, then you can choose any of the alignment option like Align Right, this

will cause the objects to line next to the right border of the slide.

In the Drawing section of the ribbon, choose Arrange > Align > Grid Settings....

Snap Features in PowerPoint - The Snap feature makes the object jump to a specific location on the page as you drag it, to help you align

it better with other objects or to a certain location on the page.

PowerPoint has two different options for the Snap feature -Snap Objects to PowerPoint Grid or to Other Objects on the slide

Use the Grid to Align Objects on the Slide

In the Grids and Guides dialog box, check the feature to Display grid on screen. This allows you to make exact placements for the graphic objects. You can set the grid spacing in decimals of inches.

Align Objects on Slides Using Drawing Guides

Drawing guides divide the slide into quarter sections. Drag objects to the location you wish using the drawing guides as a reference.

From the Drawing section on the ribbon, choose Arrange> Align > Distribute Horizontally (or Vertically)

Choose Arrange > Align > Align Middle

Choose Arrange >Align > Distribute Horizontally.

Use the Align to Slide feature to distribute the graphic objects in relation to the size of the whole slide, rather
