How to vertically center text in table cell?

How do I get text to center vertically in a cell?

It centres all the text, no matter how many lines. I test the solution.
What have you done? Explain what you are getting and exactly what it is you have done and the result you wanted. We can't see your screen.

How to vertically center text within its container

Whether in a button, or a text element, I see no way to center the text that you type *vertically* in the container. I'm not talking about within the box element. I mean just the text element itself. If I size out a text area and start typing in it, I should be able to say center it vertically. That's what I'm looking for anyway. Help much appreciated.

Text elements cannot be vertically centered as they are not containers. However, you can fake that somewhat by making the line-height very large. But this means if you have text spanning two lines it would be very far apart though

How to set the text of a cell in Numbers to vertical direction? Tks.

Hi
In Numbers, please tell me how to switch the text of a cell to vertical direction?
Tks.

Hi Kyle,
In Numbers, nothing having to do with a table can be rotated. (In Pages an entire Table can be rotated, but not text within a Table.)
There have been many suggestions posted here over the life of iWork for vertical labels. Most fall into three categories:
1. Type one letter, Option-Return, type another letter, Option-Return, and so forth.
2. Type label in a Text Box, rotate the box, position the box over the table, covering the cell where you need a label.
3. Create a PDF graphic with rotated text and insert it into table cell as Background Fill.
The third option is clearly the best. The steps for option three are:
Insert Text Box
Type label into the box
Rotate the text box
Select the text box (not the text inside the box)
Command-C
Switch to Preview.app
Command-N
Command-C
Switch to Numbers
Click on Cell where the label goes
Command-V
It sounds worse than it is. You can reuse the Text Box so you don't end up with a sheet full of them.

Jerry

How to vertically center InlineGraphicElements?

Hi all,
I'm trying to extend the InlineGraphic TLF example to insert images of varying sizes, but vertically center them in the text Flow. I'm having trouble figuring out the correct parameters to properly center the element. I've been playing with alignmentBaseline & dominantBaseline w/ IDEOGRAPHIC_CENTER, but I don't get very promising results. Here's a screen shot of where I'm at:
Notice the blue box(added in post), the text MESSUP is being placed on the same line as the Lorem Ipsum text(in the string, it's Donec MESSUP). Also, the selection box (Ctrl+A) shows breaks in the text layout. It seems like the boxes should be shifted up. This may be as designed, if so, how do I compact/shift the boxes up?
For contrast, this is what it looks like without the centering:
Source:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.engine.TextBaseline;
    import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.InlineGraphicElement;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.InlineGraphicElementStatus;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.ParagraphElement;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.SpanElement;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;

    import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
    [SWF(width="760", height="590", backgroundColor="0xCCCCCC", frameRate="30")]

                "ipsum vehicula non.", null,
                "Donec MESSUP"];
            textFlow = new TextFlow();
            textFlow.fontSize = 34;
            textFlow.backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;

            var imageSize:uint = 20;
            var paragraphElement:ParagraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
            textFlow.addChild(paragraphElement);
            for(var i:uint = 0; i < elements.length; ++i)
                var obj:* = elements[i];
                if(obj is String)

                    paragraphElement.addChild(span);
                else if(obj == null)
                    var inlineGraphic:InlineGraphicElement = new InlineGraphicElement();
                    inlineGraphic.width = imageSize;
                    inlineGraphic.height = imageSize;
                    imageSize += 20;
                    inlineGraphic.source = "http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/images/flashplayer_100x100.jpg";
                    // comment out to change back to good looking text

            const bufferX:Number = 50;
            var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite;
            sprite.x += bufferX;
            addChild(sprite);
            textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new ContainerController(sprite, 760 - bufferX * 2, 590));
            // this call compose but the graphic hasn't been loaded from the source URL yet.
            // The actualWidth and actualHeight are zero.
            refresh();
            var em:EditManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager);
            textFlow.interactionManager = em;
            textFlow.interactionManager.setFocus();
        protected function graphicStatusChangeEvent(e:StatusChangeEvent):void

            if(e.status == InlineGraphicElementStatus.READY || e.status == InlineGraphicElementStatus.SIZE_PENDING)
                refresh();
        protected function refresh():void
            textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();

Cannot, really.

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a databae?

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a database using LabVIEW Database Toolkit? I am using Ms Access. Suppose I have three columns in a table, I write 1st row of 1st column, then 1st row of 3rd column. The problem I am having is after writing the 1st row 1st column, the reference goes to second row and if I write into 3rd column, it goes to 2nd row 3rd column. Any suggestion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you do a SQL INSERT command, you create a new row. If you want to change an existing row, you have to use the UPDATE command (i.e. UPDATE tablename SET column = value WHERE some_column=some_value). The some_column could be the unique ID of each row, a date/time, etc.
I have no idea what function to use in the toolkit to execute a SQL command since I don't use the toolkit. I also don't understand why you just don't do a single INSERT. It would be much faster.

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.

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.

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.

Can't vertically center text within a table cell with a picture next to it

I have a table and each cell has a picture in it (which was "cut" from another part of the document and "pasted" into the cells). Next to it, I typed a few words. I want the words to be centered vertically within the cell. However, everytime I click on the vertical centering in the inspector, it moves the picture and the text remains at the very bottom of the cell. The text is "tied" to the picture. I've tried everything... highlighting the text, same thing. Can't figure it out!! Is there any way to do this without inserting text boxes??

Vertical align works on text within text boxes and within table cells.
I have just checked this using a table with:
*1st cell* Inline Picture with caption under. Cell sizes to fit
*2nd cell* Same as first, picture scaled down. Text and image centre vertically.
*3rd cell* Caption only, vertically centred.
It works and I have wrap turn off on the image, before I pasted it in.
On rereading the O.P.'s post it seems to be saying contradictory things. That the text is "tied to the picture" which is what you would expect of inline graphics and that the text is stuck in the bottom the cell.
Without a picture and a better description of the problem we are none the wiser.
I am just guessing but perhaps the O.P. has the image and Inline graphic on the same line and can't understand why the bottom of the text and the bottom of the image are aligned.
If this is the case it is a misunderstanding of what inline graphic means. The image acts just like a character in the text and sits on the text baseline, it is not an independent object.
It is possible to shift text next to the image or the image itself by selecting either and altering:
+Inspector > Text > More > Baseline Shift+
But frankly you would be better separating the 2 and putting the text in the cell to the left or right of the image.

How to Vertically center dynamic text?

I am trying to vertically center and wrap text within a Text div. I have figured out how to center text if it is a single line, but the text that I am using will be diffrent for each user depending on what language they view the page in. How can i make sure that text is always vertically centred and wrapped regardless of how long it is?

Could you do this with css? There is a css attribute display:table that allows you to set the paragraph attribute to align to themiddle of a region. See: http://css-tricks.com/vertically-center-multi-lined-text/
Hope that helps.
