I used Step and Repeat to create 9 squares in a 3 x 3 pattern.They are not aligned equally however.I tried using Align and Distribute but cannot space them equally at 0.5"I can do a row of them but not 3 rows and and 3 columns in the pattern seen below.Question: How to align and distribute equally?See files here:Image of the 9 squares:https://davidswebsite.com/corel/9_squares.jpg

Align & Distribute should be able to do it, but you cannot select all nine and distribute both horizontally and vertically in one shot.Mek showed you one way to do it while creating the objects, something that can also bo done with the Step and Repeat docker, or manually in a few rather simple steps (similar to what I described in your "Most basic question..." thread).
.
I don't use the step & repeat at all. I use a macro that will duplicate the shape and move it to the right according to what the nudge is set to. Draw one square to the size you need, set your nudge, run the macro (I set my own shortcut "f") hit "f" again.
ctrl+f duplicates to the right without a space
ctrl+shift+f duplicates down without a space
