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

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Frames Frames button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

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

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, 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.
