Try to center the text in a text box

I just upgraded to InDesign CS2 to CS4. I'm trying to center the text vertically within a text box. I remember in CS2 that there are three different buttons, one that would Center it at the top, one that would Center the text in the middle and one on the bottom.

If anyone knows where these buttons is gone, it is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Ah! There they are... on the control panel (when the frame is selected with the tool collection... rather than having a direct insertion point). They are pretty far to the right. If your screen size is such that not all features to adapt, they can get cut.

Cannot mount the frame to the text box

Hello!
I'm in InDesign CS6, on a 2011 iMac, and I often see this problem when I try to make a block of text to its content.
Initially, it looks like this:
Then I click on "mount the frame to the content" in the menu object, or by double-clicking on the handle at the bottom right of the text box.
And then I get this thing:
The police is Montserrat (free fonts, you can install it and see how it feels on your side).
Editing is perfect on the left and right and on the bottom, but there's a margin of 10 pixels between the top of the text and the text box.
It's really annoying when I try to align the text boxes with objects horizontally, because I then create outlines for text boxes.
Given that this does not happen always, only with certain fonts, I am led to think that the height of the letters is not correctly calculated within the font file? I'll ask the proponent to the police for help as well, unless there is something like a value of high indentation of the hidden default page that I'm not aware of, or a solution of workaround that someone will report.
Thank you

In ID, select the block of text, right-click, and choose Options of text block, then the Baseline Options tab. You can set the first base line on the menu drop-down.

How to have larger text that the text box so that it looks to break

Hi all
First of all, thank you for being so helpful last time!
So here's my question, first of all, an illustration:
Click and look at where he says "hector."
http://www.Lulu.com/content/paperback-book/Hector/7496651
I want to be higher than the black bar that sits on the white text, but I want the text to not be visible above the bar, so the final appearance will be that the top and the bottom of the text is limited. If I do the text to the size I want and then try to reduce the text box so that it is smaller, the text disappears and I get this little red box with the sign + in it (which indicates that there is in the invisible text box). I tried to make the text in Photoshop, and then import it, but unfortunately this particular text is kearning to make it look like how to do and this feature is not available in PS.
Any suggestions? Thank you very much!!!

Put the text in an image and do as you wish. Now select the text block and cut it to the Clipboard.

Create a new image and choose paste into. Resize the new framework to crop the text as you wish.

Center the text in the LabelField

I want to center the text in a label. The label takes the entire width of the screen, but the text inside it will not focus.

LabelField lbl = new LabelField ("the centre", LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH |) LabelField.FIELD_HCENTER);

Am I missing something simple massively?

Thank you.

Try this:

LabelField lbl = new LabelField ("the centre", LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH |) DrawStyle.HCENTER);

Why I can't Center the text in the text boxes?

Hello, I recently got muse Adobe and I use it to make a site for my father and he bought a domain already so I use Muse to make the site. I'm a tutorial (this is my first time using Muse) and the user centers the text in the text box beside where the text options in the top menu. I do not have a text align the button, so I can't focus or move the text in this way at all, and I can't put spaces to make them look centered either... Is there something I can do to center text? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
-Chad

No problem try Ctrl + Alt + 6 for your control panel and Ctrl + T for your text. If I were you I would get yourself on YouTube and YouTube the donkey of muse, there are plenty of good tutorials that you can follow, not to mention adobe TV / tutorials.

If you need more help or advice, do not hesitate. Its also a good idea to add images when you try to explain a problem. If you succeed in adding your text editor and Control Panel, it should look like this?

Is it possible to center the text between any set of verticle lines displayed by the grid?

I try to be attached to the specific tasks on this background that I use, I turned the grid text. I put the text at specific locations a lot. So it would be a lot easier and faster if I could just automatically center the text between the lines of the grid, rather that manually fiddling with it.

well commented in this case might get you where you want to go.

But if you either point frame type or text, it is quite easy to do.

Turn on snap them to grid from the view menu

Draw a rectangle to one of the lines of the grid to another (with no fill and no optionsl race)

then place the text on the rectangle, turn off align it on the grid.

in the attribute align select on align by object key select the text and the rectangle, click on (with selection) on the rectangle to make the object key (do not hold down the SHIFT key).

Then in the Align Panel choose horizontal or vertical alignment icon.

Vertically align the text means that a block of text has close text and even at that it is often subjective if you may need to reposition for a Visual
accepted balance and sometimes it's true Center horizontal alignment according to the size and utilization of the text.

Oh Yes after you Center the text you can delete the rectangle.

Try to make the switch

#mytable td

Since this is the table cell that you really want to have this property.

In Windows Vista, when I type text in an e-mail message and then try to highlight, the text disappears.

I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA. WHEN I TYPE THE TEXT ON THE E-MAILS AND TRY AGAIN AND HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT DISAPPEARS FROM IT. I'VE BEEN ADVISED THAT PERHAPS THE COLOR IS WHITE (I THINK THAT OUR GIRL CAN ACCIDENTALLY CHANGED SOMETHING SINCE IT IS A NEW PROBLEM)
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE COLOR. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP. Thank you.

original title: TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN I TRY TO highlight THE TEXT

You can open Notepad and type something. Press the Insert key, and then try to go back and change what you type and you will see the difference between insert and Overtype.

I can't help with Firefox, but in IE, you can change the colours via Tools | Internet Options | The colors. I think Firefox has a similar option, but you need to ask in a forum of Firefox to see the option. As it happens in the browser, then it is clearly a browser problem and not a problem in Windows mail.

And from your screen main alignment of the button text.

//CustomButtonField button1 = new CustomButtonField("Button1");
CustomButtonField button1 = new CustomButtonField("Button1", Display.getWidth() / 2);
button1.setAlignment(CustomButtonField.ALIGNMENT_CENTER);

Hello, welcome to the forum of InDesign. I'm a different Steve.

What version of InDesign are you using? What operating system do you use?

Tell us exactly how you create your text box (frame).

The easiest way is to choose the tool of Type (T). Click and drag an image where you want to go.

But, if you place the text to another program like Microsoft Word, click file > Place. Select the file and click Open. Drag-and-drop placement of text cursor to position it on the page.

Try to adjust the text of the labels. Is constantly "could use the tool text because the channel of the target is hidden"?

Hello

in what format save you your file? If it's a jpg file, then the text is compressed and unfortunately PS is telling things as they are. Even if you could change the text before you save, after having been saved in jpg format, the text is merged and is no longer editable.

A good solution is to save the files as PSD files, photoshop files. In this case, all layers are saved uncompressed and so your text will appear in its own layer in photoshop. All you need to do in this case to change it is the result of a three-step procedure

(1) select the right layer

(2) take the text tool in the tools bar

(3) mark and change your text

So the crucial question is: in what format you save your file?
