I have created a textbox in Word and can set various properties for it, such as position, text, text style, text horizontal alignment (left/right/center), color, and so on.
But I cannot find any settings to set the vertical alignment of text in the box to Top/Middle/Bottom. There's a button for vertical alignment on the ribbon to set that property, but I can't find it through the object inspector, through Intellisense, or through searching the net. I tried recording a macro, but the only line that showed up in the macro was the VBA line to select the textbox. Nothing else. :-(
The ribbon button is beside the "set text direction" option, but I couldn't find VBA for that setting either. I also tried the Textframe2 property, but saw nothing in there for vertical alignment.
Here's the code that sets the horizontal alignment of text. Also, I included the enum that I think I need to use. But I can't find the property to accept a value from the enum.
tbox.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
WdVerticalAlignment enumeration (Word):
Name Value Description
wdAlignVerticalBottom 3 Bottom vertical alignment.
wdAlignVerticalCenter 1 Center vertical alignment.
wdAlignVerticalJustify 2 Justified vertical alignment.
wdAlignVerticalTop 0 Top vertical alignment.
Does anyone know the syntax for the property that I need to set to vertically align text inside a textbox shape? Thank you
The property is TextFrame.VerticalAnchor that uses the enumeration MsoVerticalAnchor
For example:
ActiveDocument.Shapes(1).TextFrame.VerticalAnchor = msoAnchorMiddle
(The enumeration mentioned in the question is for page layout.)

I am having trouble with label's text alignment. I used workaround to have rows coloured based on a value of certain row (featured in e.g. this tutorial); for example, if the Status is "Cancelled", it colours entire row red, otherwise it is green.
I created AGG(MAX(1)) columns for bar (with fixed range 0 to 1) and AGG(MAX(0)) columns for text (with fixed range 0 to 0), then paired them through dual axis.
However, I found out the text label is automatically aligned to the centre. I looked into text label options and set my alignment to the left (in both Edit Label window and Alignment setting) but it had no effect whatsoever. I changed Format... settings for column but once again, it had no effect.
I even tried changing fixed range on AGG(MAX(0)) columns or changing the zero in MAX(0) to some other number but this only moved centre-aligned text so it was of no use.
Here is a picture to illustrate my point:
I found out what was the issue and also arrived at better way to do it than the one I described in my question.
Here's the tutorial (using Tableau 2021.4):
Create a column MAX(-1). Right-click the column, go to Edit Axis..., set Range to fixed (start at -1, end at 0), delete the Title, and disable all Tick Marks (by setting them to 'None').
In Marks panel, set the Mark to 'Gantt Bar'.
Drop your condition for coloring (e.g. calculated field) on Color in Marks panel.
Create a calculated field MAX(1) and drop it on Size in Marks panel. This will fill out entire column width with a color bar. If needed, increase the bar width by moving the slider under Size to the right.
Drop the text value on Label in Marks panel. Now you should see text labels. If not, increase cell's height (Format > Cell Size > Taller or Ctrl+Up).
If you want a header (just like shown in my picture), create a column MAX(0), set its Range to fixed (start at 0, end at 0), disable all Tick Marks and change the Title.
Right-click the MAX(0) and tick 'Dual Axis'.
In case you'll encounter some challenges when formatting the end result, check formatting hierarchy (this tutorial may help).
Alright, I do not know how to fix this and only ran into this problem after trying to put in some longer text on a UI Text component. I have tried both pasting a value into its Text attribute through the Unity editor, and setting its value programmatically like this:
t.GetComponent<Text> ().text = "This is where meat, fish, and [...] (long text)"
Because Horizontal wrap is on, the text wraps when it reaches the edge of the available space.
However, the text displays backwards. Meaning, the start of the paragraph is at the bottom, and bottom at the top. Taking off wrap fixes this, but then the font size has to be really small (or it won't all be visible), and it can't form a normal paragraph because it has to... you know... wrap.
Is this a bug in Unity?
This is what happens - as you can see, it is displayed backwards:
The negative Line Spacing value is what is causing the issue here:
When the value of this field is less than 0, the lines will actually be arranged backwards, leading to the behaviour you're currently encountering. Just change the value to a positive number to have the text display correctly.
I have a scenario in which my reports fields doesn't look like centered Vertically,
Below is the screen Short of the output.
As it can bee seen from output that data with a bigger font is clearly seen centered vertically, but the data pointed with lines is left-top justified, i want that to be left-centered.
For vertical alignment I did this .
and code behind formula is:
if {NewReport;1.TireLevel} = 1
then
crCenteredHorizontally
else
crLeftAligned
The Editor Screen.
Sadly, Crystal Reports doesn't support vertical alignment in the same way it supports horizontal.
It's possible to use labels on the vertical ruler and enforce Snap to Grid, but that might not work within a table. Or you can add line breaks, blank rows, or plain white objects to push things into position. But there's no easy way to enforce a vertical center.
In your particular case, I would actually make two seperate fields: One for large text and one for small text. Layer them on top of each other and reuse your current formula to alternate their suppression. This way you can move the smaller text vertically down without undoing the vertical alignment on the large text field.
I'm trying to learn Auto Layout and playing around with various view combinations. I have various views containing other views, but the one I'm having trouble with is one that contains a label and a text field. They are set up like this:
There are several constraints set up on these, such as center Y alignment between the label, text field, and parent view, 0 leading edge for the label, and a hard coded value (12, but irrelevant) for the trailing edge of the text field. I had initially had it as a 0 trailing edge, aligning it with the parent container. However, the right edge of the text field seems to be cutting off and I have no idea why... I Started increasing the distance, thinking that may be there's a margin issue, but nothing seems to help!
Would love any input.
I have a text label which can contain text in length from a few words to a few paragraphs. I want it to behave something like a <p> does in HTML. It is set up like this:
It is attached to the left ("Equals 18 pixels"), to the top ("Equals 31 pixels") and to the right ("Greater than or Equal").
The result looks like this:
You can see, that autolayout is right, all the constraints are fulfilled, but it is not what I wanted. It somehow misses an equalation which tells the value label to fill the maximum space horizontally it can fill. How can I set this up using Storyboards?
This should to the trick:
Remove the right constraint.
Drag the UILabel to the desired width.
Add a new constraint by selecting the UILabel and use the Editor > Pin > Trailing Space to Superview menu option.
Select your UILabel and then in Editor menu select Size to Fit content
Also remove the right constraint ("Greater than or Equal").
Doing this, your label will stretch horizontally to fit its content.
This will solve your problem.. :)
