[Publisher/Photo] Create grid-style collage from multiple pictures?

[Roter_Rabe]

Hello! I'm sorry, this is a very simple question, but I was wondering about the simplest way to create a grid-style collage of several pictures to put on the same print.

I would like to arrange them so that there is equal spacing on all sides and equal spaces between the pictures themselves. I would like to use different sizes, orientations, and aspect ratios for different pictures.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Roter_Rabe and welcome.

Here's one way.

In Publisher, enable View - Show Grid:

Then choose View - Grid and Axis and set up a grid with the Spacing set to your desired 'equal spacing' Here I've used 5mm, not subdivided:

 

Close the dialog, then go to View - Snapping and enable Snap to Grid:

 

Close the dialog and use the Picture Frame Rectangle Tool (F) to design your layout:

 

The shapes will 'snap' to the gridlines to help you maintain the spacing (spot the mistake above).

Once you're happy with the layout, click on each frame in turn, choose File - Place, navigate to your chosen image and select it. Hide the Grid and Margins from the View menu, and check the results:

You can adjust the positioning and size of the images using the Move tool.
