Top: **Align Height** not active. Bottom: **Align Height** active. Center points within a highlighted frame can be accessed and modified using the **Axis** setting

Each level of text (all, lines, words, letters) has its own center point around which the respective levels rotate or can be scaled. This center point can be moved two-dimensionally within the text plane. This can be done by dragging the crosshair in the **Axis** window or by manually entering X and Y values in the neighboring fields. The range of movement is defined by the text plane, e.g., **Words** allows movement within the entire surface of the words, **Letter** allows movement within the space of each letter.

### Align Height

Parameter ID: `MGTEXTOBJECT_AXIS_WORD_ALIGN`

Text arranged onto a spline. Top: **Align Height** not active, at bottom active.

Activating this setting will cause the **Height** setting to be disregarded when the center point of that level is ascertained. This will cause the baseline to be maintained, as shown above. Activating this setting is recommended when arranging text onto a spline.

A slider will be made available beneath the **Axis** setting for each Effector applied to it.

The **Transform** settings are the same as described for the Cloner (see [**Transformation**](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OMOGRAPH_CLONER-ID_MG_TRANSFORM_GROUPTRANSFORM.html.md))
