Apart from the above options, you can also set the alignment of a particular component by giving the X, Y coordinates and the height and width of the component in pixels.

In order to do this, click on the component and go to properties pane. Now the properties pane will show the properties for that particular component only. Go to the alignment section and give the alignment required.
