Hi Bernd,
Thanks very much for all your efforts, on first use there does not appear to be
any issues.
Thanks again

Hi Terry,
Look at my reply to Geoff. I think this is more the solution you need
because that code makes no assumptions about fixed textHeight, line wrapping
and so on. It should work for any type of field and center what is visible
vertically.
Kind regards

Hi Ralph,
I have not tried this all on mobile devices. But on desktops the baseline of
the first line is consistently found with this piece of code. I had the need
for a starting point for a gradient behind the text and had difficulties
finding a consitent reference point. I found the base line of
Hi All,
Is it possible to use the rect of an image to create a link and have the image
then become the link button? I’m trying to repeat through some images on a card
and save them as links in the resulting PDF.
get the ImageRect of img ("MasterVideoPlay" & x) of cd 5
put it into tR
Hi Geoff,
I think I found a solution for variable textHeight and different fonts in a
field.
Try this. It is now independent from the textHeight and just uses the
formattedHeight.
And no need to watch out for wrapped text. Should work with any text whose
formattedRect and is reported correctly,

Hi Geoff,
both code versions were intended for fixedLineHeight text. But now you
mention it I will try to adjust the code for variable lineHeight and varying
fonts.
Since am currently doing "cantuccini" (sort of italian cookies) I will try
it a little later.
I think the solution is not to rely o
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the feedback, noted to give your suggestion a try.

Hi Terry:
FWIW, I¹ve never been able to get the field adjustment code working for
anything but default text. I¹ve pretty much given up on using fields for
vertically centered text and use buttons where possible. Once you
establish a topMargin offset to center the text (you can use a negative

I have been working on this for a while. I found out that the base line is
different on various platforms. This makes the calculation change on various
platforms. See bugs http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13551 and

Hi Paul:
If I understand what you are trying to do, here are a couple of
suggestions. When first setting the fileName, also store this path in a
custom property to be able to retrieve it later (such as the uFileName).
Also, if possible, only set the imageData of the image to itself when
printing;
I think we are on a different wavelength here.
The code I was originally using from the forum was:
-- put the effective textSize of fld id tID into tTextSize
-- put round (((tTextSize - 24) * 1/3)) into tOffset
-- put the formattedheight of char 1 to - 1 of fld id tID into
tFormat
Thank Eric,
Oh, I forgot about wrapping text. That is a neat addition.
Actually I don't really use this myself, so I was thinking about something
like small 3 - 5 lines of text in a separate field, not big wrapped text.
Kind regards
Bernd

What requirement am I missing that this isn't sufficient -- and capable of
handling multiple fonts and font sizes throughout the text?
get the formattedrect of line 1 to -1 of fld 1
set the topmargin of fld 1 to (the height of fld 1 - item 4 of it + item
2 of it) div 2

Thank you very much for this code.
I was surprised that LC did not have an option for vertically aligned text in a
field and on searching the forum found your method.
However, on my iMac the offset calculation did not seem to work precisely and I
had to adjust it slightly.
As I am creating a r
This is great!
Just change text to formattedText for this line:

here is a definitive (as opposed to infinitive) calculation that correctly
sets the positon of text vertically in a field
for testing purposes it is ready to be put into a slider
