Illustrator CS allows you to align paragraph type to the right, left, or center. Step 12 - Expand the Masks paths. Adding pattern to the text. Click where you want the line of text to begin. text-anchor: middle is the correct property to use. In the Paragraph panel or Control panel, click Align to Baseline Grid. The palette will appear. Make each text box the same width as each column, then center the text in each box with the Align Center button. Step 15: Your data will be aligned like this in each column of the table. If the placed text looks strange, try this: Select the text box or shape with the Selection Tool; Click on the Character Panel link in the Options Bar and set the font sizes to any value you like. While holding down the Shift button, select the four text boxes. For this demonstration I will be using a simple ellipse, but this process works with virtually any shape or object. Illustrator’s Align tool is a special set of useful commands that help you adjust your artwork. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Align-Objects-in-Illustrator-Step-1.jpg\/v4-460px-Align-Objects-in-Illustrator-Step-1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Align-Objects-in-Illustrator-Step-1.jpg\/aid5618538-v4-728px-Align-Objects-in-Illustrator-Step-1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"
