Cursor position is centered vertically in multiline text field

Level 1

When I insert a text field, resize the height so that it can accommodate several lines of text, and select "Allow Multiple Lines," the cursor is always left-aligned and centered vertically in the text area when opened in Acrobat.

Is there a way to force the cursor to appear in the upper left corner, so that input text appears starting at the top of the text area, rather than the middle?

Hi,

You can set the text alignment (vertical and horizontal) in the Font tab/palette.

If you don't see it in your workspace, you can select it from the Windows menu in LC Designer or by Shift+F5.

Good luck,

PS note that you can edit the appearance of the caption and the object's value either together or separately. This applies to font style as well as paragraph settings.
