should have alignment

[GoogleCodeExporter]

it should be possible to align objects, perhaps when moving them or by 
selecting them and using a 
menu item.

I think selected Text boxes should be moveable by the Directional Arrow keys on 
users' keyboards. It 
would help a great deal when users try to accurately place or move the Text 
boxes onto the forms' lines 
they're filling out…. Anyone feel that this, too, should already be 
implemented? It is pretty practical. Take 
for example when you try to move an image in keynot or ppt...the image will 
move I'n. The dirição of the 
respective arrows pushed....

I, too, would love to see the addition of both alignment and the use of 
directional arrows to move text.  Thanks 
for considering it!

Yes, the most useful missing feature, in my view, would be an alignment feature 
to line up left edges of selected 
fields.

One more thing which relates to this. It should be possible to draw a rectangle 
around a field of a sanned form. 
Then adjust the font size such that the entered text fits in the rectangle.

Use Case: some forms have fields of fixed size, such as date. It is very 
difficult to tweak the font size in order to 
fill those fields properly.

I would like to be able to align several text items on the same line with each 
other, and ideally, with the line already drawn on the original form.

Also to align text entries vertically, especially with respect to a decimal 
point, or right sides of the text, so that information entered on tax forms 
appears neat.
