Detailed operating instructions
The difference between vertical alignment features such as ”Bottom” and ”Base line” lies in the fact
that the whole text within a box will be aligned to the base line for a ”Base line” setting, i.e. with the
bottom section of letters such as ”g”, ”p”, or ”y” projecting over the box.
Perhaps the alignment term ”Adapted” deserves special mention. When activating one of the
alignment features such as ”Horizontally adapted” or ”Vertically adapted”, the box contents will be
adapted to the size of a box, i.e. text within a box is no longer left-aligned or right-aligned, but of the
same size as the surrounding box.
Hint:
The ”Horizontally adapted” alignment feature is excellently suited when a preset box size is
used and a text of standard width is somewhat too long for a box. When allocating the
”Horizontally adapted” alignment feature to this text, the required character width will
automatically be calculated to allow the text to accurately fit into the box, therefore filling it
completely.
The following figure shows some examples of alignment:

In principle, graphics boxes react as though ”horizontally” and ”vertically adapted” features had been
included.
