Changing Vertical Alignment

The alignment buttons on the Standard toolbar allows you to change the horizontal alignment of text. Microsoft Word help you with vertical alignment, where you can have your text start, not at the top of the page, but in the center of the page or even at the bottom.

For example, you might have a front page for a booklet and you need to have the name of the book right in the middle, middle of the page.

Microsoft Word help you to complete this task easily.

To change the vertical alignment, follow these steps:

1. Place the cursor where you want to change the vertical alignment, if you are changing the vertical alignment in the middle of a document.

Otherwise, to change the vertical alignment of the entire document, it doesn't matter where you place the cursor.
   
2. Choose File ► Page Setup from the menu bar, to get to the Page Setup dialog box.
   
3. Click the Layout tab.

"This Point Forward" to change the vertical alignment for the rest of a document.
