align, bottom align and centre align. To select the items that require alignment, first select
the item(s) to align. To do this, touch the screen in an unused area and while keeping contact
with the touch screen, move your finger over the items requiring alignment. The grey
rectangle will change colour to purple if an item is selected. Next, select the item to align to,
the item box will turn blue. Once the items have been selected, press the desired align icon.
