Hi,

As well as setting the height and width in the Size & Overflow property, you could also try changing the alignment to middle centre or try using the padding property to indent from left/right/top/bottom where required.

I guess it's going to be a case of trial-and-error to get the alignment exactly right.

Regards,

MF.
