How do you center a Text Anchor Point?

I want all my text anchor points to center in the middle of my words.
By default they stay in the lower left corner.
Do I have to manually reposition each one with the Transform > Anchor Point adjustment every single time?
TEDIOUS.
Is there no other way?

There's no option for that. Text layers are the size of the comp even though the text can extend beyond the boundaries. The only solution that I know of is to add a slider control to the text layer then add this expression to the anchor point:
[0, -.35*effect("Slider Control")("Slider")]
The .35 factor is about where most have the center of their height. You then just adjust the slider to the font height. You can tweak the value if it doesn't fit your particular font.
Unfortunately there's no way to directly access the font size with an expression

    Stru,
    You posted your question in the Pages (word processor) discussion area. Hope you can find your way back to Excel without any difficulty. The answer wouldn't have been much different had you posted in the Numbers discussion.

  • How do you center text in a JOptionPane?

    How do you center text in a JOptionPane?
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File(s) Moved Successfully","Finished", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

    Instead of adding the string "File(s)...", create a
    JPanel. Add your text as a JLabel to this JPanel
    using the appropriate LayoutManager. Now add the
    JPanel in place of "File(s)..." in the
    showMesageDialog call.Or just use a JLabel, set its alignment to center and add the label instead of the string.

    Hi drewdollar,
    If you have Acrobat, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool on the Content Editing pane of the Tools panel. Just select Edit Text & Images, and then drag the image where you'd like it to appear on the page.
    Best,

  • How do you set the text of a Hyperlink component in code

    I am using Visual Web pack in NB 6.0. How do you set the text of a hyperlink component in code?
    Please see screenshots at
    http://coba.usf.edu/departments/isds/faculty/agrawal/projects/java/
    I have a hyperlink in a grid panel. I am using
    hyperlink1.setText("Hello"); in prerender(),
    but the Hyperlink shows up with the text "Hyperlink", whereas I was expecting "Hello". However,
    hyperlink1.setUrl("http://www.usf.edu"); works as expected.
    I tried nesting a static text in the hyperlink as suggested in the Creator guide (ed 2, Google project). I deleted the "Hyperlink" text in the properties editor but then the page turned out blank.
    Thanks

  • How do you change the text in portrait mode.

    How do you change the text in portrait mode.  I can edit it in landscape, but when I change the view the Latin and photos can't be edited and swapped with my material.  Thanks

    iBA should be approached like this:
    layout in landscape
    edit in portrait
    - -  check in both on your device
    Use the 'disable portrait orientation' option (Inspector/Document) for layouts you just don't see working in any manner but landscape.

    How do you take off text field

    Hi again, sounds like you accidently hey CMD+F5 & turned on Voice Over, try CMD+F5 again, or see this...
    I think the issue is caused by the Apple Voiceover Utility. Part of its function for the visually impaired is to highlight the button or text item that it is going to speak. i suggest you turn off Voice over either going to System Preferences -> Universal Access and Making sure that voiceover is turned off. Alternatively press Apple(Command) F5 to turn it on & off. The black rectangles should go away. If you want voiceover but not the black rectangles. You can open the voice over utility and change the settings to the text is still spoken but without the highlighting.
