How do you position text in a div tag to be in the center vertically?

Can someone help? I am struggling to convert from being dependent on tables to design sites to using all css and divs. Anyway, in my practice file, i made a header that is styled to be 50 pixels tall. The type in the header goes to the top. I am used to having type default to to the left and positioned vertically in the center they way type "works" when placed in a <td>. What am I not "getting?" I would like to know that if I change the css for the header region from 50 to another value that the type will always be positioned where I want it.
thanks in advance for any suggestions. Maybe the picture I've attached will better explain what I'm talking about. Oh, and I've also attached the html file

I'm afraid you'll have to starting looking at things differently. Css cannot yet vertically centre anything in a <div> container reliably.
About as good as it gets is one line of text (see code below) using the line-height attribute AND you need to give the <div> a height too which is also likely to lead to other problems. So forget it. You can use padding and margin to push it into a 'visual position vertically centered' in your browser but there is no guarantee that others with different browser set ups will be seeing it the same.

How do I overlap text in a Div Tag over an Image

Hi,
I have a large image which I would like to set as as border around the page.
Please see www.touchw1.com, it is the grey border with the 3 archways on it that I would like as a border. At present, everything on this screen apart from the contact details at the bottom are saved as one JPEG. I saved it like this as I don't know how to set that border as a border and then insert other div tags over, or in it? Can anyone help??
Thanks

Create a 'wrapper" and 'footer1' <div>
<div id="wrapper">
</div>
<div id="footer1">
</div>
Create some css:
#wrapper {
border: 1px solid #333;
border-bottom: none;
width: XXXpx /* width you require */
margin: 0 auto; /* centers wrapper horizontally in browser window */
#footer1 {
background-image: url(archway.gif); /*archway image plus borders */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: XXpx /* height of background archway image */
width: XXXpx /* width you require */
margin: 0 auto; /* centers footer1 horizontally in browser window */
Then start adding content to the 'wrapper' <div>. Insert your logo into a <h1> header.
<div id="wrapper">
<h1><img src="images/logo.jpg" width="XXX" height="XXX" alt="TouchW1 Sales and Press Agency - Central London" /></h1>
<p>TouchW1 is a newly created niche agency that specialises in all aspects of sales management, press and licensing, based in the heart of Central London</p>
</div>
<div id="footer1"></div>
Move h1 header into position in the 'wrapper" <div> with css:
h1 {
margin: XXpx XXpx XXpx XXpx; /* top, right, bottom, left */
padding: XXpx XXpx XXpx XXpx;
Do the same with the paragraph tag
#wrapper p {
margin: XXpx XXpx XXpx XXpx; /* top, right, bottom, left */
padding: XXpx XXpx XXpx XXpx;
Add rose as background to 'wrapper' <div>
#wrapper {
border: 1px solid #333;
border-bottom: none;
width: XXXpx /* width you require */
margin: 0 auto; /* centers wrapper horizontally in browser window */
background-image: url(rose.jpg);
background-position: top right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
Hummm that its really....add a 'footer2' <div> for the address line

How do you position tags in a spreadsheet? Can I eSign more than one tab in a spreadsheet?

Using text tags
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#d=Bi-SZ3cbVCHwiWBBp-7G7g
but spreadsheets are quite difficult to predict as they don't typically have a page size defined. If you can do this in Word it'll be easier.
or convert to pdf before uploading to EchoSign.
You an upload a spreadsheet with multiple tab and place tags on each tab and all will get converted.

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.

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 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?

How do you position side by side tables so they print correctly on separate sheets?

How do you position side by side tables so they print correctly on separate sheets?

Hi CJ,
I just saw this solution by Jerry:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5653936?tstart=0
It is non-intuitive how to get there, but Menu > File > Print... to get to Print Preview. Then Click on Print.. at bottom right. This does not print, but opens a dialogue where you can choose to Open PDF in Preview (click on PDF bottom left).
Have fun!
Regards,
Ian.

If at all possible, you don't. You get the original (pre-PDF file), you edit that.
Adobe Acrobat has some very limited facilities which sometimes allow very simple text edits to PDF (e.g. change a phone number).

Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture? Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture? Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a picture of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

Sjazbec,
Thanks for the reply.
I did read the help and went through the tutorial - the butterfly text wrap (and the wrap around the curved contour of the bicycle wheel at the Apple store) is the reason I am asking this question. I don't know how to use one of my own pictures and tell Pages what contour to wrap around. Is there some additional image editing software that I need to "creatively crop" one of my own pictures, so that Pages will be able to wrap around that contour?
Thanks / Danke!!

How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname?

I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
<p>1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?
<p>2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.
(ex. how can I read the 120th line?)
<p>Please help!
<p>sorry for the bad english

I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?You need to know the URL of the file. You need to know the hostname, port, protocl and relative path.
The hostname is server, not file.
2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.Use the seek() to get to a random byte.
(ex. how can I read the 120th line?)The only way to find the 120th line is to read the first 120 lines. You can use other file formats to find the 120th line without reading the whole file but to need to be able to detremine where the 120th line is
