Arranges balloons horizontally, vertically, at an angle or around an object.

Summary
The gap between each balloon is controlled by the horizontal spacing and vertical spacing settings in the Balloon Settings dialog box. You can also convert regular balloons to standalone balloons (balloons without leaders).
This command is a shortcut to the Reorganize option of the AMBALLOON command. Having this option as a separate command gives you the ability to repeat the operation by pressing the ENTER key.
