Aligning the Picture

To align a picture, use the Alignment field on the Picture Properties dialog box.

When deciding how to align a picture, you need to become familiar with these terms.

baseline of text - the imaginary line on which the text lies. Some letters (such as g, p and y) have descenders, segments of letters that extend below the baseline

bottom of text - the lowest section of a line to which a descender extends

top of text - the highest spot of a line to which any segment of a letter extends

vertical center - the midpoint between the top and bottom of the line

The following table lists your alignment choices.
