Vertical text alignment in iPhoto calendar is jacked

I am creating a calendar in iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) and have added many events (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) on individual dates. On several of these events I am unable to set the vertical alignment to the bottom of the box. I can edit the text for a calendar day and click on the button to align the text to the bottom of the box, which causes the text to align properly to the bottom of the box...until I close the box, at which point the text floats right back to the top.
It is maddening.
I have left the calendar and came back to it, deleted all of the text in the box and tried to recreate the event (at which point the new text behaves the same way as before), and quit and restarted iPhoto several times...All to no avail.
Ideas?

Ok. Here is a little more information. Thanks for all your patience. I have a rather small space for my table. I notice that when I make the cell size too small for what ever reason, a plus sign within a square appears. I can only guess that the program is "suggesting" I increase the size of the cell otherwise the alignment functions along with I don't know what else, will not work. I have accepted this fact and will continue to try to work around the issue by adjusting the font size along with the table size to make it work in the space allotted.
Thanks for all your help.

I hit vertical text in my iPhoto Book and now I can't change it back, help!!

I am creating an iPhoto Book, and wanted some vertical text, so I highlighted my text and selected "vertical". It didn't go vertical, but now any time I highlight any text I can't see it, and I can't change the setting back, nor can I find any help anywhere on this topic. Please help!!

This may have helped iTunes (it can see the iPhoto library - not sure if it could before, hadn't tested it). iMovie still doesn't see the library though. Instead, it sees a library on the internal disk with nothing in it -- there's actually no library there. iMovie shows the external disk, but does not show an iPhoto library on it.
Thanks for your reply!

How to script vertical (middle) alignment of text

Help! Is there a way to scipt the process described here:
http://acrobatusers.com/blogs/pdftrainer/text-alignment-form-fields
Basically I have several multi-line text fields and want to center it vertically automatically whether the entry is one line or multiple lines, once the entry has been made (without the user having to go through the menus as described in the article).
I've tried this as a Mouse Up actoiin but it doesn't seem to have any effect (where Text1a is the name of the text field):
Text1a.alignment = "middle";
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed I can enter one blank space in a text field, then apply the vertical (middle) alignment through the property bar, save the form, and the form retains the blank space properly aligned in the middle when opened in Reader. However, as soon as I replace the contents of the field it reverts back to vertical top alignment.
Then tried concatenating the new text to the existing blank space but it still loses the middle alignment when that's done. Or maybe there's a way to concatenate without losing formatting that I'm not aware of?

Weird problem with vertical text in a table

Hello,
I am new on this forum, usually I don't post because I always find the answer to my question, but this is something quite weird...
I have a table with vertical text in it (it has to be vertical because the cells are narrow). And I want it to be centered in the cell, both vertically and horizontally. When the cell is high enough, no problem. But as it becomes shorter, the text moves to the left. It is exactly as if there was a right margin within the cell, which is not the case.
See the example below : I had the text right-aligned (this is to say, bottom-aligned, as it is 270° rotated) to make it more visible.
Can someone help me there ? I already spent hours on that problem..!
Thank you very much !

Only, my table contents both vertical and horizontal text, so I can't. But thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you kindly for all your answers. Anyway, re-writing the text in separate frames won't be so difficult (anyway it'll always take less time than what that problem already did..).
So I have a solution, thanks to Phorna
But remains the frustration of not finding the reason of this ! I will live along with it
Thanks to all

Vertical text in Chart boxes

I want to make my chart columns narrower. To do this I need to re-arrange existing text from horizontal to vertical. I have followed Inspector
instructions and cannot find button for vertical allignment.

In Pages this a a chart
Your images shows a table with text. The Help text is about alignement of text and has nothing to do with vertikal text. The images shows text aligned vertically on the left.
To create vertical text yo have to use text boxes like I did for this example image. The text on the left is rotated and the text to the right has its box very tall and narrow.

Hi,
I've used the below style classes in CSS, but still not getting the accurate Column Header Vertical Text. Also, in IE browser column header text is shrinked vertically when headerClass styles are applied!
Any help appreciated!
.sch af|column::column-header-cell {
vertical-align: bottom;
padding-bottom: 10px;
height: 80px;
.schc af|column::column-header-cell-content {
-moz-transform: rotate(270deg);
/* FF3.5+ */
filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
/*IE6,IE7*/
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3)";
/*IE8*/
-o-transform: rotate(270deg);
/*Opera 10.5*/
-webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);
/*Saf3.1+, Chrome*/
position: relative;
vertical-align: bottom;

How to make Vertical Text start furom left to right?

Sometimes some customers must be vertical text from left to right
This is mainly for Asian fonts
Whether it can be achieved with script,Or are there other methods？
Thank you~

@喜狼_edny – hm. Possible, but the result is somehow unsatisfactory.
See for yourself.
We could start with some text right aligned in a table with just one single cell:
We could rotate the cell to 270° like that:
Code:
var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
And now we need the text direction from right to left and all characters rotated to 180°:
Code:
var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
myProperties = {
    composer : "$ID/HL Composer Optyca",
    characterDirection : CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
    paragraphDirection : ParagraphDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
    characterRotation : 180
myCell.texts[0].properties = myProperties;
Result:
Ugh! Not exactly the result we expected…
(Tested with InDesign CS5.5 on OSX 10.6.8)
It's the characterRotation that is not working as expected.

How to type vertical text

In numbers, I've merged cells vertically in hopes of typing a word vertically but I can't figure out how to do it. It's probably an easy process but I can't figure it out. Thanks for the help.

Hi Tyson,
Here are some examples.
A1 contains vertical text. It can be created by making the column narrow enough to accept only a single character width, selecting the cell, and checking the Wrap checkbox in the Format bar. An alternate method that;s more trouble, but also more reliable is to insert a return character after each letter (including one on the empty line between words). Press option-return to insert a return into a cell. (Hint: Enter the first letter, then enter an option-return for each letter and space you want in the cell. Then go back and enter the letters, pressing the down arrow after each to go to the next line.)
Numbers does not support rotated text in table cells. Cells B1, C1 and D1 are empty. The rotated text is placed in three text boxes, one for each cell. These are rotated (90° for B1, 75° for each of the others), then placed in front of the appropriate cell.
E1 contains wrapped text. The wrapping in this case is determined by the width of the cell and the text itself, but you can also control what appears on each line by using returns (option-return) within the text. The vertical alignment button on the Format bar was also used here to vertically center the text in the cell.
Regarding "I've merged cells vertically...," I'd recommend against merging cells where you can avoid it. Merging cells vertically or horizontally has consequences with sorting the table (and I think, other issues as well). Best to leave it undone until the issues are sorted out.
Regards,
Barry

Change iPhoto calendar project from English to French

I am trying to figure out if you can make iphoto calendars with french text. My iphoto program is in engllish, but I would like to make a calendar with french text. Is there a way to change the language for the months and days?

You have to change it system wide not just iPhoto. Take a look into System Preferences > Language & Text.

I'm not able to create a iphoto calendar with the correct birthday entries.

Hello,
I use the latest Iphoto version and OS X 10.9.
I tried to create a calendar in iphoto that includes all birthday information of my family. Unfortunately I'm not able to do this.
I tried two differnt ways to get the information into the calendar.
First of all I' tried to use the option of the calendar to get the information of my contacts and it partly worked. Some dates were missing and I was not able to modify or add additional birthdays in the calendar. I checked my contacts and the information was there but not shown in the Iphoto Calendar.
Therefore I have to get the information into the calendar in a different way. For that I created a new calendar in ICal and created for each Birthday entries.
I select the option in the Iphoto calendar to show the new calendar in iPhoto. But the result was worse than with the first solution. Only few entries was shown in the calender.
Do anybody have an idea how can I solve this issue.
Thank you in advanced,
Philipp

First of all I' tried to use the option of the calendar to get the information of my contacts and it partly worked. Some dates were missing and I was not able to modify or add additional birthdays in the calendar. I checked my contacts and the information was there but not shown in the Iphoto Calendar.
Do the birthdays (from Contacts) show correctly in the Calendar app? Sometimes there is a formatting problem with the date string in the Contacts. If the Birthdays do not show correctly in the Calendar.app, try to delete them from Contacs and enter them again, and check, if they now are showing correctly in Calendar. Quit both Contacts and Calendar.
Then restart iPhoto, and in the "Settings" for your Photo Calendar disable the Birthdays option, and then turn it on again.
Any changes you do to the birthdays in Contacts may only appear in iPhoto Calendars after Calendar or Contacts wrote their databases, and iPhoto will read these databases, when you enable the "Birthdays" option. Toggling this option on and off will ensure, that the new Contacs info will be read.

ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those are bugs that need to be reported to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Not much we can do about it.

Ordered Iphoto calendar. One picture is blurred and bad. Can I get a new calendar?

Ordered an iphoto calendar for 2015. One picture is blurred and bad. Can I get a new calendar? To whom do I report this problem?
Joan

Maybe - did you preview the calendar -
Before ordering your calendar preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered calendar will match it.
What is the printed size of the image and what are it's pixel dimensions - it need to be no less than 150 DPI for a good, clear print
You can contact Apple at the address included in your order confirmation email and see what they will do - but if the picture is too small reprinting will not help
