Properties and Formatting Dialog Box: Alignment

If you arrived here from Workstation, see the Workstation Document Authoring Help.

Use the Alignment options in the Properties and Formatting dialog box to specify how the text in the following controls is aligned:

These are the options in the Alignment section of the Properties and Formatting dialog box:

Text Alignment:
- Horizontal: Change the horizontal alignment of text within the text field. Select left, center, right, or justified alignment.
- Vertical: Change the vertical alignment of text within the text field. Select left, center, right, or justified alignment. This applies only to Flash Mode.
  Flash Mode is available only if your document was created before MicroStrategy 10.1 and was defined to display in Flash Mode. Beginning with 10.1, Presentation Mode replaces Flash Mode.
Text Control: Is available for text fields only.
- Wrap Text: Specifies whether to wrap the text in the text field.
- Break Words: Specifies whether to break the text into multiple lines when there is space. This option is selected by default when Wrap Text is selected.
- Text Direction: Specifies whether the text is displayed:
  - Horizontally (across the page)
  - 90 degrees (vertically from bottom to top)
  - -90 degrees (vertically from top to bottom)
  Vertical text is not displayed when the document is exported to Excel. The Firefox browser does not display vertical text.
Padding: Adds space between the text and the border of the control. You can add padding to the Left, Right, Top, and/or Bottom of the control. Padding is not available for selectors.
