Default How do I center text both vertically and horizontally in Word

Here's a suggestion, which may or may not suit your needs:

- Insert a text box.
- Go to Format Format Text Box.
- Click the Layout tab, and choose Square wrapping.
- Click the Advanced button.
- Set both the horizontal and vertical alignment to "centered relative to
page".
- On the Colors and Lines tab, set to No Line and No Fill (or anything else
you like). Click OK.
- Format the paragraph inside the text box as Centered.
- With the text box selected, press Alt+F3 and assign a name for the
AutoText entry.
- Delete the text box if you don't want to use it right away.
- Whenever you want text centered on the page, type the name of the AutoText
entry and press F3, then type text into the box.

The long way would be to justify centre then go to
file/pagesetup/layout/page;vertical alignment and select center.
Is there a shorter way to do it?
