Ill snap my mtext to the top left corner of the box, but then the edges of the text will be touching the lines of the box.

Is there a way to add padding (spacing) to the text--I know I can just move the mtext box, but I want it accurate and consistent across all different types of boxes Im going to label.

Then, snap the text to the midpoint of both vertical and horizontal edges.

Share Report Save level 1 1 year ago Not sure if this helps but you can add a box around Mtext in the settings.

You can even add a Wipeout to it if you want it to block everything it covers.

Share Report Save level 1 1 year ago Theres no padding, but what you can do is add a blank line above your text and set the text height for that blank to be whatever you want for the padding distance.

Its hackish and you have to not delete the blank line, but it works.

If you set the mtext to have Text Frame and set the frame size under Background Mask, with the Border Offset option.
