Paragraph vertical justification

[Goran Ekstrom]

Hi,
isn't there any vertical justification options for a style!? For example, I
would like to place a "Blank page" paragraph centered horizontally and
verticallly on blank pages.

Thanks,
Goran Ekstrom

Vertical justification is available only as a section property (Layout tab
of Page Setup). For your paragraph, you'd be better off formatting a style
as "Page break before" with, say, 4" Space Before.

Hi Goran,

You might also try a framed style. You can't vertically center the text in
the frame, but you can vertically center the frame on the page.

If you make the frame just one or two lines high, and choose the "distance
from text" large enough to force the following text onto the next page, it
should work well.

Regards,
Klaus

Yeah, thats a pretty OK way to do it. Again, thanks!

Just tried it, and it works best if you leave both the height and witdth of
the frame on "Auto", center the frame both horizontally and vertically, and
set "Distance from text:" to about half the page height.

That way, the text will stay vertically centered, no matter how much text
you enter.

Hi Klaus,
sounds interesting. I'm actually just starting to make Word do more than
write one page faxes so I'll have to look into it some. Got a good book
about W2000 though.

Thanks,
Goran
