The alignment guides are excellent and very useful.

I wish to evenly space multiple page or text elements (horizontally/in a row). But I found if any pages/text elements are different sizes then it foregoes the fixed spacing between elements and instead fills the space to fit within the outer selected elements.

In the pic, I select the outer two elements of the top row and then shift-drag horizontally until I see the vertical red centre-line appear in the middle of the middle element. For regular sized elements that works (bottom row).

Is there a way to keep the spacing between all top row elements? (i.e. pushing the right element to the right)
