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! 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. Distribute Objects 1. Select the Selection tool on the Tools panel. Select three or more objects to distribute them. Simply double-click the Hand tool. You can quickly go to 3. If you want to view a document at a specific zoom level, double-click the view area at the bottom-left corner of the active document window, type the magnification you want to zoom to, and then press Enter or Return.
When you specify a magnification, you don't change the document. Rather, you change how you view the document. For this reason, you can never undo any type of magnification-level change. Of course, being able to zoom in very closely to your artwork does have a pitfall. The more you zoom in on an illustration, the less of that illustration you see at one time. You have several options within the Navigator panel for changing your view:. The red rectangle.
You can stay zoomed in and move easily to another section by dragging the red rectangle which actually scrolls , located in the center of the Navigator, to another area.
The popup menu. You access this menu by clicking the triangle located on the upper-right corner of the panel. The Navigator panel's popup menu includes a View Artboard Only option. This option sets the thumbnail in the Navigator panel to show only the extent of the Artboard. If this option isn't set, the thumbnail shows all objects included in the document. The magnification level box. You can type an exact magnification level in the box in the lower-left corner of the Navigator panel.
The slider. Located at the bottom of the Navigator panel is a slider that gives you yet another way to zoom in and out by dragging the slider to the left or right. The Zoom In and Zoom Out tools. The Zoom In and Zoom Out tools look like little triangles and big triangles on either side of the slider triangle. You can zoom in and out a preset amount using the same amounts used by the Zoom In and Zoom Out tools and menu items by clicking the Zoom In or Zoom Out icons.
The Navigator panel can slow down Illustrator if your artwork contains many patterns, gradients, and gradient mesh objects. Sometimes, after you zoom in to a high magnification, part of the drawing that you want to see is outside the window area. Instead of zooming in and out repeatedly, you can use the scroll bars on the right side and bottom edges of the document window to move around inside the document. The right scroll bar controls where you are vertically in the document window.
The bottom scroll bar controls where you are horizontally in the document window. The scroll bars contain three elements: up and down arrows; a gray area or bar ; and a thumb , also called the elevator box , which is a gray square in Windows or a blue oval on a Mac that rides along the scroll bar. The gray area of the right scroll bar is proportionate to the vertical size of the work area the space around the artboard. If the little elevator box is at the top of the scroll bar, you're viewing the top edge of the work area.
If it's centered, you're viewing the vertical center of the work area. The techniques are as follows:. Using the up and down arrows. When you click the up arrow, you display what is above the window's boundaries by pushing everything in the window down in little increments. Clicking the down arrow displays what is below the window's boundaries by pushing the document up in little increments.
Using the thumbs. Dragging the thumb up displays what is above the window's boundaries proportionately by whatever distance you drag it. Dragging the thumb down displays what is below the window's boundaries proportionately by whatever distance you drag it. Using the gray bar. Clicking the gray bar above the thumb and between the arrows displays what is above the window's boundaries in big chunks. Press arrow keys or use the mouse scroll wheel to change the size of the red box.
Release the mouse button to zoom in on the new area of the document. The document window returns to its original zoom percentage or to the size of the red box. Zoom to Actual Size. Double-click the Zoom tool. Type or choose a magnification level of in the Zoom Level box in the application bar.

Or, choose the name of the view in the Window menu. Multiple windows for a document are numbered in the order they were created. Use anti-aliasing for smoothing edges. From the Adjust View Settings menu, choose the view setting for which you want to turn on anti-aliasing.
