Now your page has three photo boxes, all neatly lined up – yea!ĥ) Save your layout by clicking “Apply and Save to My Layouts” and you can give it any name that helps you identify it. Now if you want the square to line up from top to bottom with the longer vertical box, click on the new square box, hold shift and click on the long vertical box.Click “Align horizontal” to line up from left to right.Lining up the two yellow boxes from left to right Click on the new square box, hold shift and click on the original square box you want it to line up with (both boxes should be highlighted in yellow).But don’t trust your eyes! You’ll be pretty annoyed at yourself if your book comes back and it’s slightly off.Drag the box into the general area where you want to line it up by eyeballing it first.After making my square, I clicked on “Duplicate” to make another photo box exactly like the firstĤ) You can see above that the Duplicate function created a copy of the box, but it randomly placed it on the page.Dragged the bottom of the container and made it smaller, into a square.Edit Layout Mode in Blurbģ) If you click on any “Image container” you can resize it, drag it, move it etc… Here I decided to turn this two photo layout to a three photo layout. I clicked on the layout at the top left of the page which you can see has a green checkmark to show that I’ve selected it.Ģ) Now click the first button at the top “Edit Layout” which takes you to the editing mode.
