To evenly align several objects to each
other across the document, either horizontally or vertically, select
them and then choose a distribution option. For a quick alternative, you
can use Live Distribute (New!)
to evenly create space between objects proportionally. Resizing an
object is different than scaling an object. Before you select an align
command, specify how you want InDesign to align the objects. You can
align the objects in relation to the page, margins, spread, or
selection.
