Spacing

 There are two alignment functions used to equally space shapes, either horizontally or vertically. After
selecting three or more shapes, these functions can be accessed using any of the following:

 Right click on the screen and select Align and Space>Space>Vertical (or Horizontal)
 Press [ or ] (see below)
 Go to Edit>Align and Space>Space>Vertical (or Horizontal).

 Vertically (press [) equally spaces shapes between the uppermost and bottommost shapes in the selection.
 Horizontally (press ]) equally spaces shapes between the leftmost and the rightmost shapes in the
selection.

 Another way to increase or decrease the spacing between a selected group of shapes, is to hold the Ctrl
key and drag the middle:

Hold the Ctrl key and drag
this red handle to the right.

Stars are now spaced
further apart

 This same method can be used for vertical spacing, as well. The shapes also do not need to be the same.
You could equally space, for example, a star, a letter “B”, and a straight line.
