Distribute or space parallel lines evenly

[Marilynn]

I am looking for, but not finding, an equivalent to Mac Pages' Arrange/Distribute Objects Evenly. The closest action in Publisher is to Duplicate then move the duplicated line to desired position. Further iterations will replicate the spacing, BUT if I need to adjust or add to the grouping later I need to start all over. In Pages, any time you want to rearrange the lines you place the first and last where you want them, select all the lines, then Arrange/Distribute Objects Evenly/Vertical (or Horizontal or Evenly, depending upon the orientation and desired arrangement), and no matter how many lines are between the first and last they are spaced evenly between those two.

You should find the capability you're looking for via the Alignment icon on the Toolbar:

Thank you! I was looking for that setting in Text/Alignment or View/Studio. I'm still getting used to this program and I have a tendency to ignore many of the icons in the toolbar and use the drop down menu instead. Your help saved my sanity, because I knew it had to be somewhere!

You're welcome. For menus, by the way, it's under Layer > Alignment.
