Align text for labels in user forms
I have recently been starting to create user forms but
have become frustrated by what I'm sure is a very minor thing. When I make a label to indicate what a text box is used for, the text within the label is always justifed top left. I have found how to change the horizontal justification with TextAlign in Properties but I can't find a way of centring the text vertically. Because the controls all fit into the grid, all my labels do not align with the controls that they are associated with. Question: how do I centre the text vertically? Or can I turn off the grid? Many thanks for any help, Tim |

Align text for labels in user forms
Hi Tim,
You can't align the text in a Label control vertically. You can, however, turn off the grid. From the VBE menu choose Tools/Options/General. Unchecking the "Align Controls to Grid" checkbox will allow you to move controls independent of the grid. Unchecking the "Show Grid" checkbox will hide the grid itself (these two settings are independent). -- Rob Bovey, Excel MVP Application Professionals http://www.appspro.com/ * Please post all replies to this newsgroup * * Unsolicited e-mail replies will be ignored * "Tim Archer" wrote in message ...

Tim,
You might also want to take a look at Stephen Bullen's VBE Tools add-in, which allows you to 'nudge controls http://www.oaltd.co.uk/VBETools/Default.htm -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Rob Bovey" wrote in message ...
