Any way of having the program center our lettering (both left, right & up, down)?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There may be a better way, but this is how I did it:

There are three justification options: Left, right and center justify. At the top right of the screen. Choose center. After you have set your type, put a selection rectangle around it. Activate the Grid. Use the move tool to place your lettering in the middle of the page.

Hi…

Thank you for your reply…

Yea, I know I can do it “manually” I’m just wondering why the centering abilities don’t work when I’m using the “select” tool? Now make note I’m using a Photoshop Elements 6 program – things can always be different with other versions. Their always adjusting these programs regardless if it’s Elements or just regular Photoshop…

But just to recap: Yea I’m just totally miffed as to why the automatic centering ability with the move tool (in the tool adjustment bar or whatever it’s called at the top of the work screen) aren’t functioning for letters.

P.S.
It would be nice if we could have the ability to upload video or photo’s for this group so we can demonstrate various issues…
