Hi. I can't seem to be able to align the text in a multiple line text field to the top rather than the middle that it's defaulting to!. Am I missing something obvious?

Cheers. Thom

I'm assuming that you're using LiveCycle Designer for this... if not, this answer probably won't help.

After going into the "object" palette and setting your text field to accept multiple lines, go into the "paragraph" palette. To the right of the horizontal alignment icons should be vertical alignment icons.

Does that work?

Carl Young also has an article on how to do this in Acrobat (not LiveCycle) at:
