Is there a way to have text auto center itself vertically within the tab?

Not that i'm aware of. I've been using the below script. Are you familiar with scripts? Basically you have to get the Y-Position of each line and then enter them into the script.

dim newtext as string

dim list as array

dim newtext1 as string

dim x as string

dim maxlinelen as integer

dim maxlines as integer

dim linesCount as integer

dim line as string

maxlinelen = 100

maxlines = 6

linesCount = 1

newtext = text

list = split (newtext, " ", -1, 1)

line = ""

newtext1 = ""

For each x in List

If ( Len (line) + Len (x) )> maxlinelen then

newtext1 = newtext1 & line & VbCrLf

linesCount += 1

if linesCount > maxlines then

line = ""

exit for

end if

line = x & " "

else line = line & x & " "

end if

next

newtext1 = newtext1 & line

text = newtext1

if linesCount = 1 then

Self.PosY = 137

elseif linesCount = 2 then

Self.PosY = 217

elseif linesCount = 3 then

Self.PosY = 295

elseif linesCount = 4 then

Self.PosY = 365

elseif linesCount = 5 then

Self.PosY = 445

elseif linesCount = 6 then

Self.PosY = 525

else

Self.PosY = 137

end if

I tried using this script and it appears to only move the whole thing, no matter how many lines it is. I've adjusted the number I put with the "Self.PosY = " lines, but the only one that seems to make a difference is on the

" iflinesCount = 1 then

Self.PosY = ... "

section. When I change that number it moves, but when I have more than 1 line, it just puts the next lines under it, without changing the Y position of both lines (or more).

Any suggestions?

Thanks Vincent. What they are suggesting in that post doesn't seem to be working for me. I've never used the Visual Logic editor before, so I have to assume I'm doing something wrong. I'm going to keep playing around with it.

Thanks again!
