Align Objects

Aligns selected objects with respect to one another.

If one of the selected objects is anchored as a character, some of the alignment options do not work.

To access this command...

Choose Format - Align (Collabora Office Writer, Collabora Office Calc).

Choose Shape - Align (objects selected) (Collabora Office Draw).

Open context menu - choose Align (objects selected) (Collabora Office Impress, Collabora Office Draw).

Not all types of objects can be selected together. Not all modules (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw) support all types of alignment.
