In the legacy interface, changing a label’s advanced “Text Align Vertical” property to “center” has no effect. The change doesn’t appear in the browser or in Thunkable Live when Live Testing. The label in question has a fixed height and width: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/5/c59220b7908af4e663bd29ef99ce2a7ca5e077c1.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/a/aa0a66cb2cc687d9341d298cdad588126755f497.png) ---

So are you saying that it does not show correctly in the editor, the Thunkable Live app, on iOS, on Android or a combination of some of these? ---

Sorry, I should have specified. I’ll update the original post. ---

I am getting the same issue on Thunkable Live on iOS, in the Live Test and the Responsive Web App Preview but not on Thunkable Live on Android or the editor. ---

OK here is a hack. Set the label’s top padding equal to its height minus the size of the font 😉 ---

Hmm… that didn’t work for me. The text was way below the background color of the label: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/1/812d426e733ed3c0b6b9784e4e66b0f5f5b37087.png) Font size 18, label height 80, top padding 62 ---

Perhaps try clearing the “Text Align Vertical” value as well ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/c/2c79a1a8156a971b7e38ee69e790eda7342e3476.png) Oh and, there is no way to make it show correctly everywhere. My suggested hack works on Thunkable Live on both iOS and Android. ---

…oooor create a column, format it as you would format the label and then add a non-formatted label in the column just for the text. This will work. ---
