Re: text in boxes not centred



If you determine where you want the text, then you can group them together for easy relocation.  You could try to edit the shapes you like best and out them in the sheet.  I don't have any wisdom on that.  I am an inveterate worker arounder, and so, I avoid editing shapes.

thank you michael for your patience. however it did not work. i tried it in several different ways. but the figure in the pdf does not look to the same then in dia - the text moves slightly upwards. the problem could also evolve through writing the pdf from latex. i guess i have to live with it or place the text slightly below the centre in the dia figures.
