I want to place a word into a square box and it should be in the centre of the box. How can I center it? I want equal spaces in between the word and the box for all four sides.
Steps:
HI Silvo.
This works for even horizontal distance and vertical distance but I think he wanted an equal distance all the way around.

It may be that I have misunderstood the question, in any case your macro is very useful. Tks.

HI Silvio.
I thought the same thing when I first read also. Then I noticed that c and e wouldn't give equal distance on all 4's. I had just answered this thread with the same question so I figured it would work good in this case too.
I use a similar macro to automatically place a box around an item. It's nice because it makes the margin equal on all four sides.
You can easily adapt it to make the square dark. This is great to show a light color object on a dark background.

Following the question closely John, your solution does not solve the question either. Nor does mine. The question specifies the object surrounding the text is a square. I think perhaps that the real solution to to modify the text to a square shape. Which could require streching, shrinking and other tools then using the envelope tool to place in a square and then centering the text within a square.

Ah
Yes, you're right Jack. Could be he wants to stretch the text instead.
