I am creating a Jeopardy style board and have added all of my test boxes but how do I get all of the vertical categories to all align and be spaced the same? thanks
Select all the objects under box 1, including your green box 1.
I'm a stickler for lining things up. I would place a small shape/square to the left of the green 1 box, and a duplicate on green box 4.
Then press CTRL on the keyboard and click on your 4 green boxes. On the format ribbon at the top of the screen, click Arrange, Align, Align Middle, Distribute Horizontal.
Then delete the 2 shapes I added for "spacing".
Next, use your mouse (or use the CTRL button again) to click and drag an invisible area around Box 1 and the blue boxes that are below it.
Click the Arrange, Align, Align Centre, Distribute Vertical
Select Box 2 and those below it - Arrange, Align, Align Centre,
Do the same for 3 and 4 columns
Then pick all the 200 boxes and click Arrange, Align, Align Top or bottom.
I arranged all the numbered boxes to be aligned with the left most blue boxes. So I arranged 200, 400, 600 to the top, and the 800 and 1000 boxes to the bottom. (it just depended how they were floating/positioned.
