In this easy tutorial we will look at how to use the text box, paragraph align options, and area type options to center align text both on the horizontal and vertical axis within a text box.

This is a great technique to use when adding text that needs to be centered to tabs, headers, and other designs, which allows you to change the dimensions or size of the design and still keep the text center aligned.

Is that because of something in the settings?!

It depends on the font you are using... In some cases fonts are built differently and this tip doesn't work in those cases

So you basically leave out the most important part, which is how to put the option on the tool bar. Obviously if we had it, we could figure out such a basic sign that we had in word decades ago! Thanks for wasting my time!
