Is there any easy way to center a document (say a letter) in the middle of a
page without manually inserting lines or changing the margins?

I'm looking for an easy way out here.

File | Page Setup | Layout: Vertical alignment: Center. But you probably
won't like the results.

No, other than vertical alignment, which likely will not give you results
you want.

I have an alternative set of styles I use for short letters. They have
larger fonts, wider left and right indents, and more space before. They are
applied by a macro attached to a custom toolbar button. (There is another
that does the opposite, shrinking the letter, and a third that restores my
starting styles.) It is a lot to set up initially but works well once it is
set up. Of course it requires that all formatting be done through styles. It
helps to have cascading styles.

I have separate templates for short letters.
