There are two ways to do this:
1. Ctrl+E to center horizontally. Add some Space Before to the title until it looks visually centered vertically. 2. Ctrl+E to center horizontally. Insert a section break (Next Page) at the end of the title page. On the Layout tab of Page Setup, making sure that "This section" (i.e., Section 1) is selected, change the vertical alignment to Center. I generally prefer (1) because (a) I prefer to avoid section breaks unless they're absolutely necessary, and (b) a paragraph that is actually centered vertically will look too low, so you'll need to add some Space After to make it look right. It's much easier just to add Space Before and have done with it. -- Suzanne S.

Vertically is easy too but less obvious. Select File... Page Setup and click the Layout tab. Then look for "Vertical alignment", open the drop-down list, and click Center. Both settings go with the document when you Save it. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ |
