MS Word 2007 - Vertical alignment for individual label?
I am probably being incredibly stupid so could someone please tell me
what I should be doing. I am trying to get used to MS Word 2007 after a long time with earlier variations. I understand how to create and print a sheet of the same or different labels - with complete control over formatting. However, if I want to prepare an address label for a one-off letter, I cannot see how to have any control over the vertical alignment of the address on the label. If I right click in the Labels box, I can adjust only the Font or the Paragraph. As a consequence, a four line address is shown in the top left of a label, whereas in previous versions it was left aligned but vertically centred regardless of whether it was 4,5 or 6 lines (which is how I want it). I realise that I could copy the address to a sheet of labels - and then format and print it there - but surely there must be a simpler way? |

Using the information on the following page of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's
website, you should be able to customize the short cut menu that appears when you right click in the label so that it shows the Cell Alignment command that is available when you right click on a table cell. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "flusters" wrote in message ...
