9,550 PointsIs there a way to align text converted to shape in Illustrator?
I converted the text to shape, add fills and everything looks great. But the text is not aligned vertically in the center. Is it even possible to do that?

9,550 PointsOk, here is a link, where you can see what I mean: http://jacobwakeup21.9e.cz/data/example.png What I want is (and I don't know if it is possible) to align text in the middle. In this picture it's not so much visible, but I think it's not in the perfect center. Or - is it possible to align the yellow text to the left side of the fill and so on?
