Help with UnityUI for Subtitles Menu. Center Allignement.
Hi. This is probably a bit silly. But I wonder if somebody managed to replicate this Adventure Creator Subtitles menu behaviour in Unity UI and can help me out.

This is the behaviour I want to replicate. Text perfectly centered on top of the character. If the text is short, like in this case, I would like it to be in centre.
At the moment this is what I can get.

The issue is that I don't want to centre the text paragraph alignement or it will become difficult to read when a word
appears in the centre.
But in order to make it stay in the centre using a "preferred size" in the Contente Size Fitter, the text doesn't wrap anymore.
This is the Subtitles Unity Prefab at the moment:

This is centered:

But it doesn't wrap:

Anyone who managed to find the right setting to use in Unity to keep the text centered AND to wrap when it reach a specific width AND to keep it always visible inside the screen?
I tried different combination in the text and in the parent panel but with no good results.
Many thanks.

The last post in this thread should help.
Sorry @ChrisIceBox the link send me back to this thread.
Ok, after more fiddling I found the solution. I'll write it here for reference.
In the parent panel:
Content Size Fitter:
- Horizontal Fit: Unconstrained
- Vertical fit: preferred size
Horizontal Layout Group
-Child Alignment: Middle Center
-Control Child Size: Width and Height checked
-NOTHING ELSE CHECKED
TextMeshPro (as child as the panel)
Wrappin: Enabled
Overflow: Overflow
For the record I had Child Forced Expand checked in the Horizontal Layout Group and that was the cause of my issue.
