I am trying to follow the Excel help file in using Word 2003 to produce
labels from a list of names in Excel 2003. I want to just put the First
Name field on the labels. The instructions are very clear and I can produce
the labels just as I want them on the Avery labels except for one minor
problem. I want the First Name centered both horizontally and vertically on
the label. I can center it horizontally but can find no way to do it
vertically. The name in a large font size, say 48 or 72, is noticeably
nearer the top of the label than the center.

Is there a way to make it appear in the center top to bottom?

Thank you.
