Center text vertically in DIV.

I need to center the text vertically in the div at the bottom
of this page. How do I accomplish this? I searched this forum, but
couldn't find anything on it.

It does not. It's specific to table cells, or things with the
table-cell
display style.

Center text vertically in 6i

I was wondering if there was a way to center text vertically in a text field in forms 6i.
I have a banner at the top of my form as a text item, and I need the value(s) to be centered horizontally(which I have already done) and vertically which I am wondering how to do. Could someone please tell me how?
TIA

How do you center text vertically?

i've looked through everything and i cant seem to figure it out. please help

Unfortunately, after a TON of research, and a couple of hours of lost sleep, this is a limitation of the program. In other words, Pages does not do this.
The work around is to create a text box. Pages will horizontally center lines of text there, but not on an entire page.
Now, if you are like me, and need to create an APA style paper, with a cover page, and save it as a word doc, this work around is worthless due to yet another limitation of the program. The text box will not port into word.
I hope this answer saves you a little bit of time going to bed, instead of sitting up half the night looking for a common sense feature that does not exist.

Vertically center text on a page-document wide

Anyone know how to center text vertically on FrameMaker pages? (There is a way to do this, right?)
Thanks!

Nope, not document wide. You could do it manually on a page by page basis or if the content is suffciently small that you can make each page a fixed height row of a table you could use the Table middle setting for the paragraphs.
With a tool like Framescript, you could set up a procedure that would determine the bottom gap from the last line of text to the end of the text frame and then split difference to push down the top of line text, but this requires a bit of coding.

Trying to center text in a text box

I have just upgraded from InDesign CS2 to CS4. I am trying to center text vertically in a text box. I remember in CS2 that there were three different buttons, one that would center it at the top, one that would center the text in the middle and one on the bottom.
If anyone knows where these buttons went, it is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Ah! There they are...on the control panel, (when the frame is selected with the pick tool...as opposed to having a live insertion point). They are pretty far to the right. If your display size is such that not all the features fit, they may be getting clipped.

How to center text in DIV

Newbie with a really simply question. How would one center this text smack dab in the middle of this DIV (assuming that this DIV were already centered on the page?

If you were doing it by hand in Source View, you would add text-align:center; to the css for the div.
From Design View, highlight the text and click the Align Center button in the Properties tab.
EDIT: That would be for horizontal alignment. To align the text vertically (this only works if the text is on one line) you can set the line-height of the div to the same as the height of the div in the css...
#your_div_id {
     text-align:center;
     line-height:70px;
     height:70px;
     width:400px;
     border:1px solid black;

Center text horizontally and vertically on composition?

Hello,
I'm working on a short projects (15 minutes length). Every 30 seconds a title fade in/out against a blank (grey) composition. How do I go about easily centering the text (single word) on the composition both horizontally and vertically? I know I can horizontally center via the paragraphs pallet, but how do I center on the vertical at the same time?
Right now I'm modifying the Anchor Point of the text so it's in the center (visually) of the text, and then set the Position to the center of the composition, but every time I increase the type size, I have to go through this all over again...and with different titles coming up every 30 seconds or so, a simple text size change turns into a lot of work.
I can only image there's a better way to do this and would appreciate any advice for an AE newb!
Thanks,
Kristin.

It is possible to do this via scripting, but it won't be "live", i.e. you would have to run a script to grab the dimensions of the text layer each time you want to update its vertical alignment.
It is also possible to roughly align text vertically using expressions given three limitations:
1) You'll have to be willing to consider the height of the text layer to only extend from the cap height of the first line to the baseline of the last line, meaning descenders and ascenders wouldn't be counted as part of the height of the text layer.
2) You'll have to manually locate the center of the first line of text.
3) You'll have to be happy with a consistent point size and line spacing throughout.
Given those limitations, vertical alignment can be done as follows:
Add a Position animator to your text layer. Delete the default range selector you won't need it. Next add the Line Spacing property to the newly-created animator (using its "Add" menu). In the Character panel, set your text layer's line spacing to 0 (it will really be set to .01, but the difference shouldn't be noticeable once we're done). In the Line Spacing animator, set the desired line spacing (unfortunately, "Auto" isn't an option).
Now set your Text layer's anchor point such that it falls in the center of the text's cap height (the height of a capital letter with no ascender or descenders).
Next, add the following expression to the Position property of the text animator (NOT the Position property of the text layer's Transform group):
>STA = text.sourceText.split("\r");
>value - [0, (STA.length-1)*propertyGroup(countUp = 2).property.lineSpacing[1]]/2
The second line should be all one line, but the forum insists on wrapping it. Be aware that if you later decide to change the point size of the font, you'll need to temporarily disable the text animator and center up the anchor point again.
You can also use this method to force the text layer to shift up to accommodate new lines by deleting the "/2" at the end of the second line of the expression.

How to vertically center text within its container

Whether in a button, or a text element, I see no way to center the text that you type *vertically* in the container. I'm not talking about within the box element. I mean just the text element itself. If I size out a text area and start typing in it, I should be able to say center it vertically. That's what I'm looking for anyway. Help much appreciated.

Text elements cannot be vertically centered as they are not containers. However, you can fake that somewhat by making the line-height very large. But this means if you have text spanning two lines it would be very far apart though

Is there a way to vertically center text / elements?

Please help on this

Hi Gupevieira,
This would depend as what and where you exactly want to align page items. Examples being:
1) To align the content on the Muse canvas, you may refer to the following link:
How do you center objects and or a website vertically and horizontally in Muse?
2) To fix certain content on the browser window, you may center it as in the above scenario, and use the Pin feature to fix it in the browser.
3) To align some text vertically in a text frame, you may refer to:
Need Help with Text Alignment
4) To align with reference to other content, you may you the Align panel (Window->Align)
Additionally , you can use padding/gutter value for spacing in respect to alignment in spacing panel, similarly Align panel can be used to align objects on page accordingly.
If this is not the answer you are looking for then please provide more details as what you are trying to achieve , screenshots would help.

Sonam

Vertically Center Text in a Text Box

Just switched form Acrobt 6 to Acrobat Pro 9 and can't figure out how to verically center text in a text box. When I select the text it gives me the properties bar shown below:
Seems like a really dumb question because I know I could in Acrobat 6 and I don't know why they would take away that feature, but I can't find it anwywhere.

The only time the More button is enabled is when I have the Text Box selected, and then the options pertain to the line weight, etc. of the box and not the text. When I select the text the More button is not enabled and the only options properties are the ones shown above.
I made the Text Box by going to "Tools", "Comment & Markup", "Text Box Tool". I have not seen anything that says Multiline and when I searched help it only talked about multiline fields in forms.
Thanks for the quick responses.

Center Text in Spry Menu

Hi there,
I am building a basic website using DW CS4.
I have put together a page that works without messing up the code too much:
http://rcconnelly.net/900Fixed2.html
In the Spry menu I would like to center the text vertically and
have not been able to find a tutuorial that included this tip.
Can any of you folks get me going in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
RC

Alright I believe that you put my suggestions somewhere incorrect. These menubars can be confusing.
The easiest way to center vertically is to simply make the box that is in a size that makes the text in the middle.
By this I mean that if this is your box (the ---- is the text)
[        ]      <-----------------| Then the easiest way to make the box fit around the ----- is to get rid of the bottom [      ]
(just a figurative way of looking at the box, there is no actual division like [ ] its all just one box)
You can do that by setting a height for the boxes. The height for the boxes is controlled by a particular div element. By default the height is left blank, which usually works because then it auto formats but in your case it does not appear to be working.
We get rid of the bottom [      ] by setting the entire box's height to 35 px (which leaves enough room for the text to still show).
Here is the code you want to modify. It is the second sub section down from the top. Pay attention to the CSS notes put there by the Adobe spry designer.
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarVertical li
     margin: 0;
     padding: 0;
     list-style-type: none;
     font-size: 100%;
     position: relative;
     text-align: left;
     cursor: pointer;
     width: 175px;
        height: 35px;
     border-top-style: none;
     border-right-style: none;
     border-bottom-style: none;
     border-left-style: none;
If this does not work (make sure to update the live view or click the little globe icon to preview in
a browser, or right click on the home page in your local files and click put to view on your actual remote
server)then there might be another problem via a div box from the layout that is overriding it. If what I said
above does not work then try visiting this part in the test stylesheet, and modify both the padding and
width and height to see if that is the problem. The spry vertical menu might be trying to expand itself to fit in
that div or another div somewhere on the page.
.twoColFixLtHdr #sidebar1 {
     float: left; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
     width: 200px; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
     padding: 15px 10px 15px 20px;
     background-color: #F5E7B6;
I hope this all helped. If not, then I'm sorry- it's kind of hard to tell you exactly what to do, its much easier just
to go through and change some stuff and troubleshoot it in dreamweaver. When messing around with the code, you should
probably make an effort to edit the actual code and not use the built in interface, because its easier to lose
track with the interface than when you actually go in and edit a part.
Also, if you are new to CSS like you said, you might want to try to grasp the basics. Here is a good page to look through:

Good luck!

How to center text in shapes

how to center text in shapes. specifically circles. I want text to be centered directly in the middle

A lot depends on what you mean by centered, the number of lines of text, the actual font, and whether there are descenders.
Using vertical justification set to centered may or may not work for you, depending on the above factors, as it depends on the baseline, I believe, rather than the acutal glyph dimensions. You could try adding baseline shift, I suppose, to make fine vertical adjustments, or you can bite the bullet and use the old-fashioned method of two frames.

How to align text vertically?

This seems like it should be really easy: On a simple text slide, how do I align multiple lines of text vertically? Do I have to eyeball it, or is there a way to fix it exactly in the center, top to bottom?

Hi -
There is no automatic way, but there is a way to make it slightly easier.
After you enter your text, grab the clip of type and move it to a portion of the timeline where there are no other clips.
In the Canvas click on the button on the top right and select Checkerboard:
!http:/www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/CanvasCheckerboardBG.jpg!
This will make the background a checkerboard so you can count the squares to verify the top and bottom line are equidistant from the TV Safe Guidelines:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/CanvasCheckerBoardExample.jpg!
When you are done positioning the type, grab the clip and place it above the clip you originally wanted it to appear over.
You can either leave the Canvas set to display a checkerboard when there is no video present, or switch it back to Black.
Hope this helps.

Text running outside div

I am testing out a layout and am having trouble containing
text within
a DIV. I thought i have done everything correctly but when I
continue
typing a line into #text-dash, it flows out horizontally into
the
container DIV.
I have looked closely at the HTML and CSS from a template
supplied
with dreamweaver where the text does not flow outside the DIV
("Sidebar") into the container and I can't really see any
substantial
differences in the code but I must be missing something. Can
someone
please take a look and give me a hand with this?

Try putting spaces into your test text - if it doesn't make a
difference,
please upload and post the URL, it's easier to check your
