Hi, Part of the LCD document I'm working on includes a code number, which comprises short runs of characters separated by slashes. The characters will be entered by the user in Textfields and the slashes are Text boxes.
I've set up a flowed subform (Western text) containing a row of Text boxes and Textfields. Each Textfield is limited to 5 characters and set to expand width if needed. At present the Textfields are ranged left in the subform, as usual with Western text flow direction; I'd like them to be centred in the subform, and to re-centre when the textfields expand.
Can anyone help me achieve this?
PS. Still on LCD ES8.2, unfortunately!

Click on the subform you want to center the textfields,
open paragraph palette and align center

Thanks Robert for your response. I tried this, but it didn't work.
When I click on the subform (in both Design View and Hierarchy), the Paragraph palette is greyed out, ie empty. The Paragraph palette only comes alive when I click on a Text box or Textfield.
Am I missing something?

Hi Glenn,
In Designer ES3 there is an option added to the layout palette for the text field. This adds a hAlign="center" to the text field, you could try manually adding this in the XML Source view of the form. I don't have Designer 8.2 but I tried it in ES2 and it seems to work fine.
You text field should end up looking something like;
<field name="TextField1" w="62mm" h="9mm" hAlign="center">
Good luck.
Bruce
