Summary
How to align text for multiple states in EBPro.
Solution
1.
Open the properties window for the Word Lamp and click on the “Label” tab.
2.
To align all currently entered text, click the “Duplicate these attributes to Every state” button.
3.
At the bottom, just below the Content box, check the “Tracking” option. This will cause the labels for all the states to “track” or follow the position of further changes to the first label (State 0).
4.
Close the properties window and go to the “Home” tab. The Font and State/Language tools are on the right side of the ribbon. With the Word Lamp selected (not the text inside the Word Lamp, but the entire Word Lamp), click the Center Alignment button in the Font tools. This will align all the states of the Word Lamp to center. Select different states in the State tools to verify alignment.
5.
If using EZwarePlus, instead open the Text Toolbar under the View menu. With the Word Lamp selected (not the text inside the Word Lamp, but the entire Word Lamp), click on the Center Alignment button in the Text Toolbar. This will align all the states of the Word Lamp to center.
