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!

  • How to align the text vertical in the edit box in mfc?

    Hi,
    I had an edit box of which height is increased than the default.Now the problem here is when I am entering text into the edit box the text is not present at the centre of the edit box, It is still aligned at the top.
    After increasing the height of the edit box the text and cursor are aligned at the top as shown in the below figure.
    But Actually how I want is the text and the cursor position needs to be aligned centre as shown in the below figure.
    Note: "EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT_BOX,10,73,156,14,ES_AUTOHSCROLL"
    Can anyone please help me how can I make the text and the position of the cursor to be aligned vertically i.e, to the centre of the control.
    SivaV

    If vertical alignment is not possible, then use an edit box without borders, having the default height, and place it inside a static control having
    SS_WHITERECT style. (In MFC Dialog Editor, set the Type and Colour properties). Both of controls will be children of dialog. Use a proper tab order. Check if the style
    WS_CLIPSIBLINGS is needed too.

  • 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.
    import javafx.scene.text.Text;
    import javafx.scene.text.TextAlignment;
    import javafx.scene.text.TextOrigin;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    import javafx.scene.Group;
    public class CenteredText extends Text {
       override var textAlignment = TextAlignment.CENTER;
       override var textOrigin = TextOrigin.TOP;
    //   override var translateX = bind (scene.width - boundsInLocal.width) / 2 ;
    //   override var translateY = bind (scene.height - boundsInLocal.height) / 2 ;
       override var translateX = bind (parent.boundsInLocal.width - boundsInLocal.width) / 2 ;
       override var translateY = bind (parent.boundsInLocal.width - boundsInLocal.height) / 2 ;
    //   override var translateX = bind (parent.boundsInParent.width - boundsInLocal.width) / 2 ;
    //   override var translateY = bind (parent.boundsInParent.width - boundsInLocal.height) / 2 ;
        public function run(args : String []) : Object {
            Stage {
                title: "Vertical and Centered Text Node Example"
                scene: Scene {
                    width: 800
                    height: 400
                    content: [
                        Group {
                            content: [
                                CenteredText{

  • 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.

  • Centering text vertically & horizontally on a page

  • 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.

  • How to justify text vertically in multi-column frame

    How do I justify text vertically in a multi-column frame but within the baseline grid?
    Working at a very busy publication, fitting text evenly in multi-column text boxes are crucial to be done quickly! I understand that it can be done manually by adjusting the tracking in order to force the text to end evenly on bottom. However I'm looking to achieve that result automatically, pretty much like the "Justify Vertically" feature except by doing so it spreads the last column lines out, but I need to keep the text on the grid.

    You can ask over in scripting: InDesign Scripting

  • Center text vertically in 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    I searched for a solution to this myself and missed this thread before i posted my own thread. but I find it odd how when this is asked for people are asked to give a good reason to use the bounding box, or like here told that there is no reason to need this. Well here is my current situation.
    I have a project that has 500+ peices. I am using data sets and variables.xml  to create them all quickly.
    Each one consists of a 1 of  three logos and 1 of 500+ lines of text and all the lines of text are  different lengths
    Now the problem I am having is getting the  text to wrap properly instead of running off the art board. This was easilly solved by using a text box. Now I am faced with a new issue, One line texts are all sitting really high on the artwork.
    So I would like to center all text vertically inside the box

  • No text in form text boxes

    I have been sending out forms to be filled out in Adobe. So far, most of them come back with no issues. But recently, I have started to get them back where the text in the text boxes doesn't show up unless I click in the box. The text doesn't print when the form is printed, so that is a problem. I did some digging and it seems that the problem stems from people filling out the form in Preview mode as opposed to the regular Reader mode. So my question is two-fold.
    1. Is there a way to make it so that the form cannot be filled out in Preview mode, but will prompt the user to open it up in Reader?
    2. How can I fix the forms I already have? I read something about importing and exporting the form data, but I cannot see where to do that.
    I am using Adobe X Pro on a Mac, and I am NOT a power user, so please be very detailed in your answers about where I find commands.
    Thank you,
    Michele

    I figured that much out.
    My question was how do I prevent these problems? I saw another discussion (over a year old) that said something about importing and exporting the data, and another answer that mentioned turning off the ability to fill out the forms in Preview.
    So my questions were how to actually perform those "fixes" since I can't seem to find any sort of 'import/export/ command in Adobe Pro X nor can I find anything about locking the form from being filled out in Preview mode.
    Thank you.
