In illustrator, you can choose a key object to alight everything else selected around.
Can't seem to do this in indesign though. All I find is align with page and margins, otherwise it always alights with the upper left object in a group selected.
Am I missing something.
thanks!
If you select just the object you want as "key object" and lock its position (Object > Lock Position). Then select all your objects and use an Align command; they should align to that locked one.
See if that does what you want.
that works to align, but doesn't let me distribute the spacing.
How do you want to distribute?
Align first, unlock "key", then Distribute. Or Align, then unlock "key", lock two outer members of distribution, then Distribute.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
