Align and distribute objects — AI Prompts for Microsoft PowerPoint

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

I need the three diagrams on slide 7 aligned and spaced evenly across the slide, left to right, and matched so their tops sit on the same horizontal line. After that, check there’s equal space between each object and nudge them so the leftmost sits 0.5 inch from the slide margin.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I send this deck to the client, make the group of icons on the timeline easy to scan: align their tops, distribute them evenly, and call out any that are visually larger so I can resize them. If spacing will break copy or overlap, flag which icon to adjust and why.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Slide reviewer pointed out the timeline looks sloppy and unequal.

On slide 12 the marketing milestones are all over the place; three oval shapes are different vertical positions and spacing. I’m worried the client will read that as sloppy work but I don’t know which shapes were intended to be emphasized. Which object should I move to achieve uniform alignment and distribution while preserving the intended emphasis?

Become — change the pattern

I keep fixing uneven spacing on slides at the last minute.

Across decks I spend time realigning clusters and redistributing icons repeatedly. I want to stop firefighting layout before every review. Where is the quickest habit to change so future decks ship with consistent spacing and alignment without a manual pass?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
