Alignment Controls

The Layout menu Alignment command accesses a submenu of commands that enable you to align selected groups of controls.

The Alignment submenu commands are listed in the following table.

Command Toolbar Button Description
Left Aligns to the left edge of the master control
Right Aligns to the right edge of the master control
Top Aligns to the top edge of the master control
Bottom Aligns to the bottom edge of the master control
Centre Horizontally Centers the selected controls horizontally
Centre Vertically Centers the selected controls vertically

You cannot select the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom commands if you have not yet selected a group of controls (that is, they are disabled). You can align controls across frame container controls, if required. For more details, see "Alignment Command", later in this chapter.
