Precisely Positioning Captions

Setting the position of your caption, and understanding how that position
is calculated is very helpful when creating precise and well ordered
captions.

1. In the Caption Placement pane, change the Alignment value of
your sample text to Centered, which is the second-to-left option.

ProShow allows you to control the Alignment of a caption both
horizontally and vertically.

The horizontal alignment options are similar to what you would find in any
document editor. The default alignment, left, is what you see in a book like
this.

Centered text is often used for titles, and helps center multiple lines of text.
Right aligned is the next option, which isn’t used as often, but can work well
with certain fonts or effects.

Fill aligned text creates a solid block, but can result in some strange spaces
between letters and words to achieve the effect. You often see fully
justified text in newspapers and magazine articles.

The alignment of your caption determines where ProShow calculates the
center point of the caption. The center point of your caption is used to
determine where your caption is placed in the slide frame.
