When the text in a form field appears in the middle instead of at the top or bottom in Webflow, it is most likely because of the vertical alignment settings applied to the form field element. To correct this issue and align the text as desired, you can follow these steps:

Select the form field element: Locate the specific form field element on your Webflow canvas and click on it to select it. You should see the element become highlighted.
Open the Element Settings panel: On the right-hand side of the Webflow interface, you will find the Element Settings panel. If it is not already open, click on the "Settings" icon in the upper-right corner of the interface to reveal the panel.
Adjust the vertical alignment settings: In the Element Settings panel, find the "Layout" section. Within this section, you will see options related to the positioning and alignment of the element. Look for the "Align" dropdown menu and click on it.
Choose the desired vertical alignment: In the Align dropdown menu, you will find several options for vertical alignment, such as top, center, and bottom. Select the option that corresponds to your preferred alignment, in this case, "Top" or "Bottom".
Preview and publish changes: Once you have made the necessary adjustments to the vertical alignment settings, you can preview the changes in the Webflow Designer. Click on the "Preview" button at the top of the interface to open a preview of your website. Verify that the text in the form field now appears aligned to the top or bottom as desired. If everything looks good, proceed to publish your changes.

By following these steps, you should be able to correct the issue of the text in the form field appearing in the middle and align it to the top or bottom in Webflow.
