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.
As you can see above, there are many ways. I find the simplest it to select the object or text to be centered and then holding the shift select the to Object in which you wish it centered. Next strike the "c key" to center horizontally and the "e key" to center vertically

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.
Where to add these macros? And how to add?
