word 2007: center text in text box
Hi there,
I am following instruction from: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...384571033.aspx It says: .... Vertical alignment Shapes showing vertical alignment of text 1. Right-click the border of the shape or text box. 2. On the shortcut menu, do one of the following: * For a shape, click Format AutoShape, and then click the Text Box tab. Note The Text Box tab is unavailable in a shape unless the shape contains text. * For a text box, click Format Text Box, and then click the Text Box tab. 3. Under Vertical alignment, click the option that you want. .... unfortunately when I reach the "vertical alignment" option it is grayed out. The documentation does nto explain what I need to do in this case. thanks ! |

Previous versions don't support vertical alignment in text boxes. You can
insert a single table cell in the text box and use the vertical alignment feature available in tables. -- Suzanne S.

As far as I know, setting the vertical alignment in text boxes is not
supported in Word 97-2003 documents. You could create the document in Word 2007 format and then send it as a PDF (assuming that your co-workers don't have to edit the document of course). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mathieu" wrote in message ...
