Default How do I center text vertically on labels in Word 2007?

Fellow MVP Graham Mayor has just added this to his website:

http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm

There are some anomalies relating to label merges with Word 2007 that this
page attempts to address.

Thanks for the info Doug but it did not solve the label problem. I can
find
all the necessary information for tables but I cannot access it after I
pick
"labels" under the "mailings tab". In the label help, all information is
for
envelopes. Here is what I have found after I get the "labels" window. I
right
click the label and get two picks...one for "font" and one for
"paragraph".
When I pick "paragraph" I can center the test alignment horizontally but
not
vertically. There is also another box which states "body text" and
displays
levels 1 to 9, which I have no idea what that is. I have tried help in
search
and get no information. I have also checked under "options" and every
other
pick available to no avail. I use Avery 5260 and 5267 labels and I have
downloaded Avery's Wizard 3.1 which is supposed to be designed to work
with
Word 2007 but it does not have a pick to center vertically either. I had
none
of this trouble with my Word 2002 and Avery's wizard for that version of
Word. All the information was readily available.
Do you have any further ideas related to this problem?

With the selection in a label, the Table Tools tab of the Ribbon will be
activated and if you select the Layout tab, it has an Alignment section.

Alternatively, if you right click when the cursor is in a cell, you will
have a Cell Alignment item on the short cut menu that appears.

I have checked the "Help" in Word 2007 regarding this and it refers to
settings within the "Table" menu. I cannot find the information related
to
table settings either. Has anyone have any answers?
