Inserting/Editing an Element in a Horizontal Alignment

In Horizontal Alignment, Elements page, highlight the start point, or an ele-
ment if one exists, and press Add or Edit.
☞ Elements can be added after the start point and either before or after
other elements.
Creating and editing an alignment element are similar processes. For simplicity,
only the creation of an alignment element is explained and differences are
clearly outlined.
