To align or justify text vertically within a text frame:
1 Do one of the following:
With the selection tool, select a text frame.
•
With the type tool, click in a text frame.
•
2 Choose Object > Text Frame Options.
3 In the Vertical Justification section of the Text Frame Options dialog box, choose one of
the following options in the Align menu:
To vertically align text down from the top of the frame, choose Top. (This is the default
•
setting.)
To center lines of text in the frame, choose Center.
•
To vertically align lines of text up from the bottom of the frame, choose Bottom.
•
To evenly distribute lines of text vertically between the top and bottom of the frame,
•
choose Justify.
4 If you choose Justify and you want to prevent the leading value from becoming dispro-
portionately larger than the paragraph spacing value, specify a Paragraph Spacing Limit
value. The space between paragraphs is expanded up to the value you specify; if the text
still doesn't fill the frame, the space between lines is adjusted until the frame is filled. The
paragraph spacing limit value is applied in addition to the Space Before or Space After
values entered on the Paragraph palette.
Yokohama: In the heart of the
large island of Niphon and
wooded region, fifty leagues
from Yokohama, lies hidden
the ancient city of the dead—
the necropolis of Japanese
Emperors.
Nikko: Resting on the descending
edge of the Holy Mountain
Nikko, below the shelter of dense
forest, in the early dawn, many
go to seek renewal.
Paragraph spacing limit set to zero (left) and 1 pica (right)
5 Click OK.
An easy way to adjust the Paragraph Spacing Limit value is to select Preview, and then
click the up or down arrow next to the Paragraph Spacing Limit value until paragraph
spacing appears to be balanced with leading.
