Are you wanting to vertically center text? If so, be aware that this is a
section property, so you can't do it on a single page unless it's surrounded
by section breaks. On the Layout tab of Page Seteup, set the vertical
alignment to Center.

On the File menu, select Page Setup
then set the Vertical Alignment to Center

I believe that affects the entire contents, not just one line

Unless you make that page a separate section. This is how one would go about
centering the title on the front page of a document: by formatting the front
page as a separate section.
