Aligning elements

The following Align options appear in the Alignment drop-down menu in the Property inspector, and can be associated with certain elements, such as images and plugins. You can also use the alignment buttons (left, right, and center) to place selected elements.

Browser default Generally specifies a baseline alignment. (The default may differ depending on the browser.)

Baseline and Bottom Align the text baseline to the bottom of the selected object.

Absolute bottom Aligns the absolute bottom of the text, including descenders (as in the letter g) with the bottom of the selected object.

Top Aligns the top of the tallest character in the text line with the top of the selected object.

Text top Aligns the tallest character in the text line with the top of the selected object.

Middle Aligns the text baseline with the middle of the selected object.

Absolute middle Aligns the middle of the selected object with the middle of the text.

Left Places the selected object on the left margin, wrapping text around it to the right. If left-aligned text precedes the object on the line, it generally forces left-aligned objects to wrap to a new line.

Right Places the object on the right margin, wrapping text around the object to the left. If right-aligned text precedes the object on the line, it generally forces right-aligned objects to wrap to a new line.
