Thanks Phil.  I too tried resizing the flds but the group is a bg obj and it then grows to encroach on other areas, plus the blank/space didn't work for me either.  I was hoping there is an undocumented property of flds that looks after vertical alignment.  If there is then this list would certainly know about it !!
 
best, Bob...

As I reread your request, you're looking for a way to grow and shrink the text without changing the rect of the field, correct? I think your only other option is to have a blank line (containing a space, or maybe empty would work) at the top of each menu field, and let that first line grow and shrink in the opposite direction of the rest of the text, so the text remains centered vertically in the field. However, I messed around with that idea for a few minutes and was not able to make it work as well as the 'grow/shrink field' approach. You could indeed kluge it together by having your menu text in borderless transparent fields that sit on top of fields with visible borders. That would give you the visual effect I think you're after. Phil
