Here are very useful macros for FinalWriter to:

BottomAlign
vertically  align  all  selected  graphics  by the bottom coordinate of the
bottommost object

CloneObjects
clone the selected objects by an user defined number of times

EditGroupCoordinates
let coordinates of grouped graphic objects be manually edited.

HorizontalAlign
horizontally align all selected graphics

HorizontalCenter
center  all  selected  graphics  in  the middle of the leftmost and topmost
graphics

LeftAlign
horizontally  align  all  selected  graphics  by the left coordinate of the
leftmost object

RightAlign
horizontally  align  all  selected  graphics by the right coordinate of the
rightmost object

SelectAllGraphics

TopAlign

object

VerticalAlign
vertically align all selected graphics

VerticalCenter
center  all  selected  graphic  objects  in  the  middle of the topmost and
bottommost graphics


Some  macros require rexxreqtools.library and consequently reqtools.library
itself.   Both  libraries  can  be  found  within  Nico  François  ReqTools
distribution.

Individual  alignment  macros  are  only  provided  because they don't need
rexxreqtools.library.   The  global alignment macros are more functional as
they  let  the  user  choose  the  way objects are aligned through reqtools
requesters.

These  macros  are  in the public domain.  This means that you can use them
any  way you want as long as you don't take credit or money for them.  This
also  means  that anybody can freely redistribute the macros as long as the
original  archives  remain  intact.

Special note to british magazines:  Do *NOT* remove the portuguese version
of the macros.  Remember that your magazines are quite popular here in
Portugal.

An automatic table and equation building macros are being considered.  Send
bugs, comments, suggestions, spelling corrections.  etc...  to the address
found below.

If  you  just would like to thank us, don't send money or things alike.  It
would  be  nice  if you would buy our commercial products instead.  See the
"Upper Disk Tools" press release text found in this archive to know more.
