Distribute objects in titles
A distribution option evenly spaces selected objects between the two most extreme objects. For example, for a vertical
distribution option, the selected objects are distributed between the highest and lowest selected objects.
When you distribute objects of different sizes, the spaces between objects may not be uniform. For example,
distributing objects by their centers creates equal space between the centers—but different-sized objects extend by
different amounts into the space between objects. To create uniform spacing between selected objects, use the
Horizontal Even Spacing or Vertical Even Spacing option.
