Hi Terry: FWIW, I¹ve never been able to get the field adjustment code working for anything but default text. I¹ve pretty much given up on using fields for vertically centered text and use buttons where possible. Once you establish a topMargin offset to center the text (you can use a negative margin value via script even though the Inspector doesn¹t accept negative numbers), the text will automatically stay vertically centered, regardless of how the button is scaled.
