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.

    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.

  • 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

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

  • How do I center text in Final cut Pro?

    Hi, does anyone know how to directly center text with more than one line of text in Final Cut Pro?
    If I have more than one line it doesn't seem to center properly. I've tried wireframe (which is inaccurate), center values (which doesn't work) and Boris 3D (which does the job but the space between letters isn't accurate so I need to try an alternative method).
    Any ideas?

    In Title 3D you use the Position X/Y button to adjust the height. The spacing between the letters in Title 3D can be adjusted both in tracking and in kerning by placing the cursor between a letter pair. Title 3D is perhaps one of the most accurate and precise text positioning titlers available in any software.

    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.

  • How do you edit text that is in a text box?

    How do you edit text that is in a text box?  I just want to change the font color of the text.  Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    This is what the help files recommend
    (Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    When I try the above solution I don't have a  "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
    Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

    Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
    If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
    It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.

  • How do you add a Vertical scrollbar to a JTextArea?

    How do you add a Vertical scrollbar to a JTextArea? This is what I've tried so far but it hasn't worked. I got that off of someone asking a similiar question here.
    aTextArea = new JTextArea(10, 40);
             JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(aTextArea);
             aTextArea.setText( " " );

    JScrollPane(component)
    this constructor will only show the scrollbar (vertical and/or horizontal) as needed..so, if the scrollpane viewport is larger than the component, then it will not show the scrollbar.
    you can force the scrollbar to alway show
    setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(int policy)
    setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(int policy)

  • How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app.  it's an application that's programmed by apple.  it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true. 
    choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case. 
    don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is?
