SUMMARY
=======

To place a set of objects on a form and have them equally spaced from each
other, follow these steps:

1. Using the mouse, select all the desired objects by:

   - Lassoing all the desired objects at once by clicking and holding the left
     mouse button, and then moving the mouse pointer around all the desired
     objects.

  -or-

   - Clicking each object in turn as you hold down the SHIFT key.

2. To place the selected objects vertically, choose Vertical Spacing from the
  Format menu; then select the Make Equal option. To place the selected objects
  horizontally, choose Horizontal Spacing from the Format menu; then select the
  Make Equal option.

  If, when selecting items to space vertically, you select objects from two
  columns, the Format Equal Space option will space all selected items to a new
  location, and unexpected results might occur.
