To distribute fields evenly between two fields

  1. Move the top and bottom or leftmost and rightmost fields to their final positions.
  2. Select all the fields to distribute.
  3. From the Layout > Space Fields menu, select the appropriate command:
    • Evenly Horizontally—Moves the interior fields so there is an equal amount of space between the right edge of each field and the left edge of the field on its right.
    • Evenly Vertically—Moves the interior fields there is an equal amount of space between the bottom edge of each field and the top edge of the field below it.

To position fields with the same spacing between them

  1. Move the top or leftmost field to its final positions.
  2. Select all the fields to space.
  3. Type the number of pixels of spacing between the fields in the toolbar edit box.
    The spacing value must be a positive integer.
  4. From the Layout > Space Fields menu, select the appropriate command:
    • By Length Horizontally—Moves the fields to the right of the leftmost field so the amount of space between the right edge of each field and the left edge of the field on its right is equal to the spacing value.
    • By Length Vertically—Moves the fields below the top field so the amount of space between the bottom edge of each field and the top edge of the field below it is equal to the spacing value.
