Text Justification

[draftsman2008]

I am looking for a way to justify my text (i.e. middle center justification) so that when I create a text box for my description the text will be centered left and right and up and down.

I don't think there's a S/W native method. I think it only allowed left-right centering. You could create an excel insert with the cell centered vertically and horizontally.

Yes, but then I would lose the ability to tie it to the description in the custom properties wouldn't I?

You can justify the text horizontally (when creating or editing the text box) with the Format toolbar.

I don't believe SW can do the vertical justification yet.

Speaking of text...when's SW going to add this option?
