I'm making some buttons for my website that are a default width and height. I would like my text ceneterd both vertically and horizontally. I've been doing this manually using the "show Grid" ans show rulers and trying to do some calculations, but I seem to not be able to get this centered exactly.

What can I do to make sure the text is centered?

I'm using a default 38 pixels height for the button, 256 width and the text is 28pt font, so there should be 5 pixels top and bottom cushion.

Can anyone suggest a way to do this?

Thanks

Without having Photoshop open I can't say for sure, but I would presume you need to use the alignment options. Ctrl+A and then V for move tool and use the alignment options in the context sensitive tool bar.
