I don't seem to have control of the annotation that I want the others aligned TO. I have tried selecting 3 in top to bottom order and then right click/align on the top one... they all snap to the middle one.
What's the rule here?

Annotations will snap to the left-most annotation when aligning left, the right-most annotation when aligning right, etc.

I do not get the option to Align when I right-click the selection box.

@Randy: Can you confirm that you have at least two annotations selected? It won't show up if you only have one annotation selected.
Randy
@Trevor: Yes, I have four annotations selected.
Trevor DeVore
@Randy: Hmm, are you using ScreenSteps 3? What is it you do see when you right-click on the selected annotations?
Randy
@Trevor: Yes, I'm using 3.0.10 build 11. The options I get are Cut, Copy, Duplicate, Add Screencapture, Add Image File..., Order, Align and Delete. Paste Annotation, Apply Settings to Other Annotations and Apply Annotation Preset are all grayed out; but there is no Align.

@Randy: You can instead of as an option? Something isn't right about that. Can you email [email protected] with a screenshot?
