Make slides symmetric

 

Automatically spread the selected shapes equally around the middle of the slide to make it symmetric. Use it once and you will never go back to doing it manually!

Power-user add-in for PowerPoint and Excel - Set same height width size

Set to same height/width

Equalize the height, width or the entire size of selected shapes. The first selected shape will be the reference and all other shapes will automatically take the same height, width or size.

Bring closer/further

 

This is very useful when working with shapes.

 

Without it, you would have to take the shape on the left and move it a bit to the right, then take the shape on the right and move it a bit to the left, then take all the shapes and distribute them... and start again if the distance is not good!
