Align objects using the grid and arrow keys

You can use the grid to assist you in placing objects on the Stage.

  1. Select View > Grid > Show Grid.

    The grid does not appear when you test or publish your document.

    Note: If you wanted to snap objects to the horizontal and vertical grid lines, you would also select Snap to Grid (View > Snapping > Snap to Grid). For this lesson, you won't snap objects to the grid.

  2. On the Stage, select the title text you previously grouped together.
  3. Use the Up Arrow key on your keyboard to nudge the text until the first line in the title text is on a horizontal grid line. Be sure to leave space between the title text and the navigation bar.

    Note: You can also use the Left Arrow, Down Arrow, and Right Arrow keys to nudge objects on the Stage in the direction of the arrow.
