Changing the vertical alignment of text in text frames

You can change the vertical alignment of text in text frames. You can do this on master pages, which changes the alignment of the selected text on all pages that use the master page format, and on individual pages, which only changes the alignment of the selected text on that page.

Prerequisite

  • Frames is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • If you want to change the vertical alignment of text on a master page, you have opened the master page in the master page editor.

Procedure

  1. Select the frames whose text vertical alignment you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, select one of the following options from the Vertical alignment menu in the Text group:
    • Top

    • Center

    • Bottom

Result

The vertical alignment of text in the selected text frames is changed.

Note

Changing the vertical alignment of text does not override its paragraph style. Any changes you make later to the paragraph styles of text whose vertical alignment has been changed are applied to the text.
