Centering text vertically & horizontally on a page

Anyone know how to do this? I know how to center text within a text frame but what about a whole page. In this instance I would like to center it on a business card!
Thanks!

Windows>Align
Then Select
To: Page
And then hit the center button on the vertical and horizontal

Centering Nodes/Text - Vertically & Horizontally

Since JavaFX v1 was released overnight the ability to align text VERTICALLY and horizontally has been removed/changed.
Horizontal alignment is more or less the same as there is Text.textAlignment
Vertical alignment is now missing. In preview1 we could set and x/y for the Text and then we could also set vertical alignment on the Text: [SEE HERE|http://javafx.com/releases/preview1/docs/api/javafx.scene/javafx.scene.VerticalAlignment.html]. Just bind a translation to the middle x/y of the parent.
Using v1 I would expect the to see "BLAH" in the middle of the scene:
public class CenteredText extends Text {
        override var textAlignment = TextAlignment.CENTER;
        override var textOrigin = TextOrigin.TOP; //???
        override var translateX = bind (boundsInParent.width - boundsInLocal.width) / 2 ;
        override var translateY = bind (boundsInParent.height - boundsInLocal.height) / 2 ;
function run(){
    Stage {
        title: "BLAH"
        scene: Scene {
            width: 800
            height: 400
            content: [
                CenteredText{
                    content: "BLAH"}
}}Finally, this is not really a requirement of Text, all nodes should be able to align themselves in the middle of their parent.

Hello dgrieve,
You suggest using "parent" instead of "scene" for the general case, however, I cannot get this to work. I put the text in a Group as you mentioned, but I just get a StackOverflowError. This is using parent.boundsInLocal as well as parent.boundsInParent.
Could you or anybody look at the following code to see what I did wrong? Thank you.

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!

Centering panel boxes horizontally on a page

Experts,
I have a panelStretchLayout component on my page having 3 facets top, center and bottom. In the bottom facet i have to display 5 images inside a panel box such that they are aligned equiv distance from the left and right side. That is the same on the left side of the page and right side of the page (if the resolution changes - left hand border of the first image and right side border of the last image should be same) should be same and the panel boxes should start occupying space from the center of the bottom facet.

Centering Text Vertically

By default, text sits on a line underneath the letters (the black line in the image). I'm trying to make it so that the text is center along an imaginary line through the center of the text (the red line). So that the 'dum' to the left
of the 'B' will be centered within the height of the 'b' and not sitting along the bottom line. Can this be done in Word 2010?
Picture this text size 12 point that says 'dum' and the size 24 that reads' bT' and then again 12 point that says 'ext' to read
dumBText.
The BT are large and should be the center point for the smaller text around it.
EDIT: I cannot embed an image or links so scratch the image part.

You could insert ADVANCE fields before & after the BT to lower, then raise, the text position by 6pt. With field codes visible (Alt-F9 toggles them on/off), your string would look like:
dum{ADVANCE \d 6}BT{ADVANCE \u 6}ext
with the BT in 24pt. Depending on the font you use, you might need to change the 6 in each field, which is the number of points, to a different value to get the desired effect.
Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the fields are created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message.

Why are some of my pages centering themselves (vertically and horizontally) after I select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting..." option under Add Headers and Footers?

I'm working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I added header and footers through Adobe. I needed to select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting the document's text and graphics" feature under the "Appearance Options..." option within the "Add Header and Footer" window. Some of the pages in my document that only had a few lines of text on them centered themselves (vertically and horizontally). How can I prevent that from happening?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

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
C

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

Aligning text vertically

I know how to center text horizontally within the text box in CS5 Extended (just click the same "center" icon you would click if you were using Microsoft Word or any other program), but how can I center it vertically (have it placed equidistant from the top and bottom of the text box)? I know there must be a way.
Thanks!

I think the question has to do with text arranged vertically, rather than text that is centered on a vertical line dividing the cell.
The example in column A is available in cells in Pages Tables. But of a kludge, though, as its achieved by inserting a return (option-return if you're typing it in the cell) after each character in the string.
The example in column B is made by entering the text into a text box, then rotating the box using the Metrics Inspector, aand placing it in front of the cell where it is to appear.
The example in column C has been horizontally centered in the cell using the alignment button on the format bar. There is also an alignment button in that bar to center the text vertically in the cell, but I hadn't used it before capturing the screen shot. This text also has an option return inserted after each of the first two words.

Barry

Centering text/object indepndently

Hello. I am using a Pages template called Formal Invitation. I am trying to center both text and an object in each of the four squares of the page (the text is the same but each object has different dimensions). Each object/text needs to be centered with itself but NOT with the other three squares of the page. IT seems as if the alignment guides try to align up everything with each other, instead of just the object/text on its own quarter page. Is there any way to align text/object both horizontally and vertically on the QUARTER page, regardless of the stuff on the other parts of the page?
I hope I've explained this correctly - I'm new and I probably don't have the lingo quite right.
Thanks in advance.
JRS

Hi John,
Take a look at Help for: Changing How Alignment Guides Appear
Also: Creating New Alignment Guides
These give a pretty complete lesson on using the guides.
What I can't explain is how the shading representing the page is proportioned. I'd suggest relying on the rulers rather than the shaded areas.
I would add guides bisecting the quarter pages if I had your project, but that's a personal preference.

REP-3131: Parameter form boilerplate text cannot fit on the page

Dear members,
I am getting the following error while running the report :
REP-3131: Parameter form boilerplate text cannot fit on the page
can any body tell me how to correct it. I need to add a extra field in the standard oracle report "RECEIPT TRAVELER". when i was trying to run it in report builder 6i i got the above mentioned error. please give ur quick replies.
thanks
regards
sandeep

When you add your new field into the parameter mask, please check, if the value is too
long for your parameter mask site. Make a double click on the master attributes of your
report in the object navigator and look at the size of the parameter mask window.
Make it bigger, if you want (vertically und horizontally size).
Check the length of the text of your parameter mask title, too.

I need to add text vertically in a word document outside the margins. How can I do this with Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word and C#?

Hi Leonard,
According to your description, do you want to add text vertically into Page Header/Footer? I wrote a sample for you.
using Microsoft.Office.Core;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace AddTextToWord
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
CreateNewDocument();
Console.ReadLine();
private static void CreateNewDocument()
Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application oWord;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document oDoc;
oWord = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
String HeaderText = "Hello everyone!";
WdParagraphAlignment wdAlign = WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter;
AddHeader1(oWord, HeaderText, wdAlign);
private static void AddHeader1(Application WordApp, string HeaderText, WdParagraphAlignment wdAlign)
Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.Type = WdViewType.wdOutlineView;
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekPrimaryHeader;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Shape textBox = WordApp.ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationVertical, 150, 10, 40, 40);
textBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = HeaderText;
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument;
If I misunderstood or anything wrong, please let me know and you can get more information from below articles.
