To position page-assigned graphics (Graphic Attributes dialog box)

  1. Choose Window > Advanced Tools. Click the Graphics Tool  image\Graphics_Tool.gif. The Graphics menu appears.
  2. Click to select a page-assigned graphic, then choose Graphics > Attributes. Or, double-click a page-assigned graphic.
  3. Use the Alignment and Positioning group box to position the graphic horizontally. Choose Horizontal > Left to place the graphic on the left edge or margin of the page; choose Center to center it between the left and right edges or margins; or choose Right to align it on the right edge or margin.
  4. Use the Alignment and Positioning group box to position the graphic vertically. Choose Vertical > Top (Header) to place the graphic on the top edge or margin of the page; choose Center to center it between the top and bottom edges or margins; or choose Bottom (Footer) to align it with the bottom edge or margin.

Note. When you change a graphic’s horizontal or vertical alignment using the drop-down list, Finale repositions the graphic on the page, and resets the H: or V: settings, respectively, to zero.

  1. Use the Position from drop-down list to position the graphic from the page margin or the page edge. Choose Position > Page Margin to have Finale calculate the graphic’s position starting from the page margin. Choose Page Edge to have Finale measure the graphic’s position starting from the edge of the page.
  2. Set the positioning distance. Enter values into the H: and V: text boxes in the Alignment and Positioning group box for the distance to position the graphic horizontally and vertically on the page, based on the other settings in the Alignment and Positioning group box.
  3. Click OK to confirm your settings.
