Hello,

I am trying to set up files where, at the top of the page, the bottom of the chapter title is aligned with the bottom of an icon that is to its right. We can have long titles (because of some translations) and I would like the text to bump up a line if the title wraps, so that the bottoms of the title and icon remain aligned. I�ve been using a table cell to place the title, and assign Bottom as the Cell Vertical Alignment on the Table Cell tab of the Paragraph Designer but it wraps the title on a new line below the original line, not above it. How can I get my titles to wrap above the original line of text?

I�m using Frame 8 on Windows XP Professional.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

do I read you correctly, that what you want is this:

Single line title:

Short Chapter Title _____________ Icon

Title wrapping above first line:

Title
This is a very long Chapter _____ Icon

Cheers,
Hans

Almost but a little different. I want the title to flow naturally like this:

This
is a very long Chapter ______ Icon

Thanks,

Tim

Assuming that Chapter Title and Icon are in separate table cells, both vertically aligned to the cell bottom, I still don't quite grasp your problem.

Do you want the bottom line of a long Chapter Title to use the full line length, i.e. to be aligned justified, with the remaining portion above being aligned flush left?

Yes. The table cell containing the title currently responds like this:

This is a very long
Title _____ Icon

While I want it to wrap like this:

This
is a very long Title _____ Icon

Hi Hans,

Actually it's a little more than what I previously posted. I also want the baseline to stay where it is, not move downward (like it currently does).

In word, if you provide enough space in the cell and bottom justify the text, when it wraps, it goes to the line above the original line instead of creating a line below the original line.

The reason I want this is that the icon is at the top of the page and I don't want the title to go below the bottom of the icon and into the body text.

Could it be, that the row height Maximum is set too low (Table > Row Format > Height Limits > Maximum)?

If the Cell Vertical Alignment is set to Bottom in Paragraph Designer, the baseline of text will always "attach" to the bottom of that cell.

Just how to (automatically) wrap text after the first word (as in your second example in post #4) is beyond me...

To force wraps where you want them, use non-breaking spaces between
the words that you want to keep together.

Thank You Hans, the Row Format is what I needed. I changed the Minimum Height and with the text aligned to the Bottom, it automatically wrapped the way I needed.

Appreciate the help.

Tim
