# Aligning Text Vertically

You can change the vertical alignment of text in a balloon or caption so that it is aligned to the top or bottom border or centered between top and bottom.

1. Select the text element whose alignment you want to change.
2. Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, and then click Text.
3. Click one of the three vertical alignment buttons to align text to the top, middle, or bottom of the text element.
