Alignment Tools In PowerPoint

The standard alignment tools in PowerPoint have always annoyed us! Select several shapes and align left edges and most of the shapes move. The "anchored" shape is rarely the one you intended!

This deceptively simple AddIn will save you a lot of frustration and streamline your work flow for a minimal outlay! Once installed there is NOTHING to see, your PowerPoint ribbon looks exactly as before!

Simply install the Addin with the provided installer to give you extra functionality with virtually no learning curve!

Select first the shape to be anchored followed by the other shapes.

Hold down SHIFT or CRTL and use the standard alignment tools for shapes or images. They work exactly as before EXCEPT the shapes align to the "anchor" shape! No more moving shapes back to where you want them!

Without SHIFT / CTRL the tools work exactly as before.

As a bonus holding down CTRL and SHIFT aligns to the anchor AND resizes all other shapes to the exact same size.

Anchor requires PowerPoint 2007 onwards and a PC. It will not work in earlier versions or on a Mac.
