Aligning pictures

[sammyj74]

Hi all,

Having real problems in aligning pictures that are already on page, pictures are different sizes but if i line up edges it creates different uneven spaces in between them and also if i adjust left handside it knocks out right and so on.

Some of the pages have 6 or more pics on and need to find a way to adjust over 30 pages with this issue, if anyone can help in real simple terms (bit of a novice!)

Kind regards,

Sure. The key is understanding how the Align panel works. 

The top row has the alignment commands. (I chose Align Top, below.) The second row has distribution commands. (I chose Distribute Horizontal Centers, below). Also note the somewhat hidden Align to: menu. I'm using Align to Selection, but there are four other choices.

Hi Barb,

Thanks so much for your help.

I have tried this, but where I have pages with lots of images I am having a real issue aligning the images so that the white space between the pictures is equal.  I have attached a screen shot to give you an example.

Will I need to resize the boxes, and if so, how?  People have mentioned measuring the images, but I haven't a clue with that stuff, sadly.

Any further advice would be brilliant - thank you for taking the time.
