I am building flow charts using text boxes set to resize to fit text and I
would like all the boxes on the page center-aligned and/or middle/aligned.
Whenever I type in one box, it expands toward the right, and sometimes down,
which off-centers the box.
When I try to re-align the box using "align center" and "align middle" under
the Format/Arrange command group, sometimes the box I just typed in moves
back into line with the other boxes, and sometimes all the other boxes I have
selected move into line with the box I just typed in. There doesn't seem to
be any ryhme or reason to it. Microsoft's notes on these commands say that
the boxes move toward the average center of all the boxes selected, but that
is not the case. I get vastly different results depending on a number of
factors, i.e.: how many boxes I have selected when I align them; the size of
individual boxes; how far off-center one particular box is; etc.
Does anyone know how Word's "align center" and "align middle" algorithms
work? It would make my life much easier if I wasn't constantly having to
select every box on the page to have them all center or middle-aligned.
Thanks for the help.
