I'm trying to either make the inner margin in a text box smaller, or align the text on the bottom of the text box in fireworks. (by text box, I mean the box surrounding a text element).

With the extra space beneath the text, I can't place the text box close enough to the element beneath it without the two boxes overlapping. Not sure I'm making this clear; please see the screenshot.

Thanks in advance for the help!

what you mean is to align the text to the handles surrounding it, I am afraid you cannot do that!

However you have a couple of options:


You can use your keyboard's arrow keys to move the text to the exact position you desire
You create a rectangle behind your text and use the align tools to position your text relative to that rectangle (you can delete the rectangle afterwords) To do this,

1 Select both the rectangle and text together (holding down the SHIFT key).

2 Go to Window -> Align

3 Select "Relative to Object"

4 Use one of the options for alignment
You use "Attach to Path" option:

1 Draw a straight line using the pen tool

2 Select both the line and your text using the SHIFT key

3 Go to Text -> Attach to Path.


Hope this helps
