  How do I centre align text in a box in CS4?

  Posted by Clair Boston on June 17, 2009 at 1:35 pm

  Hello, I may possibly be going crazy, but I cannot for the life of me find the button to let me either top, centre or bottom align or justify vertically text in a text box. It is not where it used to be!

  There is still an option to do it for tables, but not for normal text boxes. Where is it hidden? Surely they haven’t gotten rid of this really useful tool!

  Thanks!

  1) Select your textbox, then go to object (drop down menu ~ select text frame options)
  • you have a dialog box
  2) go to Align and select center

  Click ok and you done

  Hope this helps

  I am having a similar issue. I just made the jump to CS4 form CS3. In CS3 there were buttons in the toolbar to align the text to either the top, center, or bottom of the text box. This was so quick and convenient. Is there anyway to bring these buttons back to the toolbar in CS4? Thanks!

  Hi Emily,

  I found the answer at the Adobe Help forums. Try here and read all the comments at the bottom for more information https://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6dc5a.html.

  If you have any further questions, I would suggest posting a message on the Adobe forums as they seem to be quicker in responding.

  🙂
