Centering pic in text box?

Okay, say...
- I have a text box 600 pixels wide.
- Have a pic that is 300 pixels wide that I paste into the text box.
- The text wrapping options I have are to have the text to the right, to the left, or above and below.
- Currently when I set it to the wrapping to adobe and below, the pic is not centering within the 600 pirxel wide text box (so there'd be 150 pixels on either side). Instead, the pic stays stuck to the left, but yes, the text goes above and below.
Am I'm missing something or is some setting throwing it off? In Dreamweaver for example, if I clicked on the pic and hit the "center" button (as if the pic was text), it does work for this -- not ideal way to do it, but does work. Muse though...?
Thanks again!

Hi,
I'm not sure if it was supposed to work in a different way but the option in Muse is to set the image in-line with text. So, while I have my image inserted in the text area I select the image and set the wrap option to in-line, it does not center the image however, but I press enter to send the image to a new line right after the last work before the image and enter again after the image, so the image will remain alone on the row, then I press the center option for text without having the image selected. I did this shor recording to better explain this. Please see it here.
Regards,
Cristian

Centering text vertically in text box

When you open a text box how do you center the text in the middle from top to bottom(vertically), not left to right. The text starts immediately in the top left corner. I need it in the center of a predefined text box size, so that if you drew a line across the center of the box from left to right, the top half of the letters would be above the line and the bottom half would be below the center line. In other words there should be the same distance above the words to the top edge of the text box, as to the bottom of the text box, from the center.

Thanks for the reply. Let me start by saying I am definitely a newbie with Photoshop. So if you could explain what I should do in PS that would help. I'm using CS6 Extended. I really don't know the difference between Paragraph text and Point text, and not sure what you mean when you ask is this for an Action.
I selected the "T" Horizontal type tool, and drew a box. Then I started typing. It looks like my selections are left align, center align, and right align. But it does not Center it in the middle of the box. The text is still at the top of the box. I have to have the box a certain size because of the project I'm working on. I'm assuming the text I'm selecting is what you are calling Paragraph Text. How do you use Point Text.
It's basically the spine on a book cover. You place the Title and the Authors name there, but you have to make sure it fits within the spine width, and is centered in that area. Like if you were looking at the side of a book, the title/author should be centered along that spine from top to bottom.
Thanks!

Working on a simple doc with a title, an attribution slug, and a pic. Don't see to be able to select/move title text box

Don't seem to be able to select or move the title text box. Have tried calling it other things (freeform, Heading 2, etc.) with no success. What's the trick to select and move?
Thanks,

QXP = QuarkXpress not QK.
Pages 5 does not allow textbox linking which is a real PITA.
Even Pages '09 which does allow it works differently than QXP, but actually has quite good layout features. For certain of my projects Pages '09 is much faster than QXP, although without all the bells and whistles.
No way that Pages 5 is even a vague substitute for QXP in fact it is a slow moving buggy disaster if you look in these forums and in the App Store reviews.
It sounds like you are trying to create a commercial print file. Do not do this in Pages!
Pages can create commercial files but with a great deal of problems and difficulties. The full process is a long story and probably not for you. No way I would use Pages 5 it has so many things that don't work and go wrong.

Make text box text start at top of box, not centered vertically

It seems all my text boxes i have start the text in the center of the box vertically, then spaces it out as you type more. is there a way to make it start at the top of the box and work down, just as if you were typing in Word or Notepad. if someone only types a few lines, it looks kinda odd having the text in the middle of the box with all that white space above and below it.

Hi,
You can set the vertical alignment of the caption and value (and both) for an object in the Paragraph tab - works just like Word.
Good luck,
Niall

How to center Text Box on Web Page? -- Web dev with Word 2013

I'm trying to assist a user who wants to use Word 2013 for simple web page development.
There are many tools but they want to use Word 2013.
Actually have it working by saving the Word 2013 files as web pages... like index.htm, about.htm, etc.
The problem is when we use the "Insert" tab in Word to create a "Text Box" or a "Shape" ...
And align it centered on the page... it looks fine in Word but when we open it with a web browser the "Text Box" or "shape" are no longeer centered.
We thought we had it fixed by making the "Text Box" Layout Options "In Line with Text" but again... looks fine in Word but not in a web browser.
The question: How can we get a "Text Box" in Word 2013 to appear centered on a web page?
thanks for any help.

Hi:
For webpage design, I would suggest customized form under develop tab on the Ribbon over insert object directly. I tested from my side, using customized form will lock the object position on the
page.

Quiz Variable Not Tracking Text Box Responses

Hello Everyone,
I am having a problem getting the Captivate Quiz variable to track correct responses from a text box. I am using Captivate 5 and trying to make a quiz where someone will enter in data that will be validated and branch off of their responses. I have set up several text boxes, turned on validating, checked the "Include in Quiz" box and the add to total and report answers boxes. See the pic below:
I am trying to branch using an advanced action that checks the cpQuizInfoPointsscored variable and branches them based off their score. But the variable always shows 0! (I set up a text caption to display the variable as I went through to check.) Here is the weird part, I have the quiz results slide in the presentation, and IT accurately shows the results from the test boxes. But for some reason the Quiz Variable isn't tracking them! Any help??

Hello and welcome to the forum,
From your question I know that you are using CP5.0, correct? This 'bug' has been fixed in Captivate 5.5. Was one of the users who had insisted (by bug report) to have all Quizzing System variables updated after each question, and not only when the quiz was done, on the score slide; now you are bumping into this issue: the score in cpQuizInfoPointsscored will be tracked and will have the scores attached to the Text Entry Boxes or for any other scoreable object (all show up in the Advanced Interaction view - F9) but only at the score slide.
I had a workaround in CP5 (have described it somewhere in an article or a blog post), using the Quizzing variable that IS updated after each question: cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored.
If you want to have the functionality of CP5.5 you'll have to track the total score in a user variable by advanced actions. It is not really that hard, since you are already using advanced actions, step-by-step
create a user variable v_currentscore
on entering each question slide have this statement executed (if you do not have already an advanced action for this Enter event, and this is the only statement, better add Continue as second statement)
Expression v_currentscore = v_currentscore + cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored
now you can use this user variable for your check instead of cpQuizInfoPointsscored, you understand that it is only updated on the slide after the slide where the question is answered? Let me know if this is a problem

Photoshop: Text box bug

Today our designers have run into an interesting bug I've never seen before, and perhaps one of you has and can offer a solution.
We are working on a file that has been opened and edited on both PS CS4 and CS6, contains images and text and some shapes. That's the extent of it's complexity other than the fact it has about 70 groups. It's a file we use to generate headers for our different outlet centers.
Here's what happens:
We open the file and the first thing that occurs is Font Suitcase apparently goes insane, loading fonts for about a minute.
After that abates the file can be modified normally. That is until you click on a text box with the text tool. Immediately the text in the box will change to another set of text within the file. Note that the layer selected is the correct layer -- It even displays the name as the expected text-- but as soon as it is clicked with the text tool the text in the box changes not just content but sometimes color.
My only thought is that when the file was saved back from CS6 the last time it was edited, the references that control the actual source text and not the pre-rendered shapes that are instantiated from the text source have been frame-shifted somehow. Like taking a few cells out of a spreadsheet on a particular column, it causes all the other stuff to get misaligned.
We've tried saving it back from CS4 / CS6 in a multitude of configurations such as Adobe PDF. No dice.
Thoughts?

What Chris didn't say is that unfortunately there's apparently nothing you can do to recover the contents of the file, save for recreating all the text (or dropping back to a version of the file saved before working on it with Photoshop CS6).
We all anxiously await the 13.0.1 update.

How to align text to another text box

I am very new to Indesign and I am signed up to Lynda.com so watching few a lot of tutorials, that said I need help with aligning text.
I have a text box that is 100mm across. It has text centered. "£5"
then above this I have in a smaller font saying "from"
from
£5
I need to get the "f" of from to line up with the beginning of the £ sign? So that If I change the price to £500 the from sticks to the "£" Sign.
To explain again the from needs to align to the left of the centred text.?
Hope that make sense?
Matt

This can be done by putting the "from" text into a custom positioned anchored object just before the £ sign. You'll need to set the X coordinate relative to the anchor, and adjust the offset on both x and y to get the positioning where you want it.
I'm sure there are lessons on Anchored Objects on Lynda.com.

Solid color text boxes in MS Word are not importing to pdf

Solid color text boxes in MS Word are not importing to pdf ... text boxes with pics import and convert fine. Using Word 2013. Any ideas?
I'm brand new to the forums, so sorry if I'm not asking correctly or asking something already covered.

Hi Sara!
Thanks for the response.
I'm uploading a Word file to my Adobe PDF Packet Annual subscription. I'm running Windows 8.0. Normally I will create a document in MS Word 2013, save it into our dropbox and then when I need to send it to someone (printer in this case) I will log onto Adobe PDF and upload the file to convert. Once it's converted, I'll send the pdf to the client or printer. In this case I created a poster with our logo (in a text box), text, a star (in a text box) and a few solid colored rectangles. Everything converted beautifully - as usual - except the solid text boxes.
I've used Adobe PDF Packet for a few years and have never seen this. Any ideas or other questions?
thanks, Dave

Vertically align middle input text in a text box

I'm creating Flash-based software that has text boxes where users write in the answers to questions. I want the text that the user types to be vertically aligned to the middle of the text box, so that even if the response is two or three lines, it is still centered in the box.
It doesn't appear that I can accomplish this through the properties window in Flash. Am I missing something? Or is it possible to set the properties of the text box with actionscript, and would that allow me to vertically align the text?
Thanks!

You're not the first to ask this, but if you got an answer of how to do it, you'd likely be the first. I don't think it is possible since there doesn't appear to be any sort of top margin property available for TextFields. You might be able to fake something like that though if you think about it... like using the changed event of a textfield to reposition it vertically in a pseudo border/bkgnd.
If you do come up with a solution, you should share it here... as I said, you're not the first to ask.

Table goes out of alignment in text box

I have created a very simple table in InDesign CS5 on Windows 7, like this:
However when you start typing into a cell, it goes like this:
To fix it up you have to make the text box slightly bigger or smaller then resize back to what it's supposed to be. Also when I do a datamerge the first page shifts like this too, although the rest are correct. When you export to PDF it comes out wrong as well. If someone wants a sample file I can post it on here.
Anyone have any ideas what is causing the alignment to change when text is entered into the table?

Okay, I think I see where the problem lies - though you had me stumped for a moment there!
So I see that you have the text box that contains your table assisting you in aligning your table to the center of your page. (i.e. the text box container is arranged around the outside of the page and the table is centered lef/right using paragraph centering and top/bottom using "align center"command from the control bar. While there's nothing particularly wrong with that method, I think it may be the source of your trouble with the alignment changing unexpectedly.
When looking at your file, I found that removing the "align center" and changing instead to "align top" took away the jumpy behavior of the text box. It no longer shifted when I tried to type. It does however move the whole table to the top of the screen. For the moment let's leave it there. Align to Page: center l to r, center t to b.
Your end result should be an item that is still perfectly centered on the page, but that can be type into without any unpredictable jumping around!
Now, let's select the whole text box that contains the table. Click "Left Justify" in the Paragraphs panel. This will move the table to the top left of your document. Now, fit frame to content. Go to the align panel,

Using html in a text box?

I've created a regular text box in Flash and have found that I can only apply italic, bold, centered etc options to the whole text box. What do I need to do to be able to apply workinf HTML tags to my text to correct this?

What buttons do I press in order to do that?
And if that won't give me alignment choices aswell, then what will?

When adding Custom Text to a slideshow in Aperture, I can no longer centre the text in the text box. Is there something I am missing? I am running Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite. Any ideas gratefully received, thanks.

Which theme are you using?
When I am adding text in a slideshow, I found, that it will depend on the theme, if the text will be centered or flushed left. The Classic and Ken Burns theme are centering the text, the newer themes will present it flushed left.
I found no way to select a custom justification for the text.
