    I cannot tell from your example what you are trying to do.

     

    I shall assume the word 'cat' is your difficulty. If you have each of the letters in an individual text box then select all of them and choose Align > Middle. If the letters are not individual text boxes have you adjusted 'baseline' for the letter t and perhaps 'character spacing' for other letters. Enter these terms in Help.

    Thanks for responding. You have the right idea of what I need. I can't figure out how to get them all highlighted at once. They are three separate letters that move there using Move. I can highlight them one at a time by clicking on the red squares, but can't figure out how to highlight all the moved letters at one time to set them up nicely.

     

    ?

     

    I appreciate any help. Thank you.

    OK I understand.

     

    What I have done is take the 3 letters and individual text boxes, selected and aligned them and then made a screenshot.

     

    I pasted the screenshot where I wanted the 3 letters to appear AFTER their MOVE.

     

    In the image below I have applied the MOVE then selected the 'C' and moved the final position (move it from it's middle red dot so that it does not resize) so it is over the C in the screenshot. I would then do the same thing to 'a' and 't' and finally delete my screenshot.

    Ask again if this is not clear.
