control the text baseline

[Bill]

Is there a way to control the text baseline in a
label control? I'd like to place the text centered
vertically within a label control. As it is, the text
is placed slightly off the bottom of the label
boarder.
Thanks,
Bill

Access does not have an auto vertical centering capability.
What you can do is set the label control's top and/or bottom margin
property to adjust where the text will appear in the label. But it's a
hit or miss manual operation.
The properties are on the control's format tab.

Fred,
Better than a "poke in the eye with a sharp stick".
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Fred,
the OP can look here:
http://www.lebans.com/verticaljustification.htm
VerticalJustificationA2K.zip is a database containing a function to allow
for vertical centering of the contents of a Label or TextBox control. Works
with both Forms and Reports.

Are you working to make "VerticalJustification" A2003 compliant?

What do you mean? It works here in A2003.

Stephen,
Your website says "Access 2000 only". I took that to
mean that 2003 isn't supported.

It should say A2000 or higher. I'll try to change it shortly.
