centering help

[robertb]

How is text centered vertically on a page? The horizontal (left-right) centering is straightforward, but I've looked in the NWP User's Guide and in the forum and can't find anything on centering text vertically (top-bottom).

There's not really any quick and easy way to center text vertically on a page. If you don't intend to have any other content on the page, you could insert a table with a single table cell, where within you may vertically center text. You'll want to increase the height to that cell to that of a single page, and probably make the cell borders invisible.

There's also the makeshift approach: inserts lots of newlines and eyeball it. Or play with the paragraph spacing.

ask Geoff for vertical ruler...

Thanks for the advice. It's no big deal to use the eyeball technique; I was just wondering if there was a command somewhere that could be used.

But far be it from me to mutter anything about vertical rulers--they're about as useful as the old Microsoft talking paper clip.

Oh oh. Now, you raised the hackles of our beloved Geoff. Just when it seemed he had cooled a little.
