Clicking the Arrange tab in the Toolbox displays an additional set of tools used to align, resize or tile fields in the window. These tools are described in the following table.

	Align to Left	Aligns the selected objects with the leftmost object in the group.
	Align to Right	Aligns the selected objects with the rightmost object in the group.
	Align to Bottom	Aligns the selected objects with the bottom object in the group.
Size	Size to Shortest	Shrinks the selected objects to the height of the shortest object in the group.
	Size to Narrowest	Shrinks the selected objects to the width of the narrowest object in the group.
	Size to Widest	Enlarges the selected objects to the width of the widest object in the group.
	Size to Tallest	Enlarges the selected objects to the height of the tallest object in the group.
	Size to Default	Resizes the field to its default size, based upon how the visual properties for the field are set.
Tile	Tile Horizontally	Tiles the selected objects horizontally. The value in the Space field specifies the space between objects.
Tile	Tile Vertically	Tiles the selected objects vertically. The value in the Space field specifies the space between objects.

Arranging objects can’t be undone. Be sure to save your window layout before arranging objects. If you aren’t satisfied with the result of an arrangement, you can close the window without saving the changes.

The position and size coordinates for the currently-selected object are displayed at the bottom of the Toolbox. Use these values to accurately position and size objects.
