    • Type AM_Balloon_Reorg.

  2. In the graphics area, specify the balloons to rearrange.

  3. Specify a point for the new location of the balloons or specify a placement option to position the balloon callouts.

    • Angle. Places the balloons along a straight line defined by an angle you specify.

    • Around. Places the balloons along the sides of a rectangular area specified by two opposite corners.

    • Horizontal. Places the balloons along a horizontal line.

    • Vertical. Places the balloons along a vertical line.
