Use guidelines

1. Open Windows Explorer, browse to the images or objects you'd like to use, and then drag and drop them into your slides.

2. To align and arrange your objects using guidelines:

   • Once you've set the size for one object, you can resize another by selecting and dragging it up or down until a guideline—a dotted red line—appears. This will help align objects at the top and bottom. You need to have at least two objects on the slide.

   • To space out your objects, select one and drag it until a red double-arrow line appears—this indicates that your object has been evenly spaced out. You need to have at least three objects on a slide.

   • To resize all objects at once, hold Shift and select all objects. Select a placeholder corner to slide, shrink, or enlarge your objects collectively.
