I suppose the sophisticated way to do this would be to increase the top
margin by the requisite amount but I must admit that if I was faced with
this problem I would just insert a number of blank returns into the
document to advance the text down the page towards the centre.
The exact number of returns I would put in would depend on the amount of
text you want to insert.
Depending on the size of your font I think from memory the amount of
lines on an A4 page bvaries between about from 25 - 30 lines. Personally
I would use 30 but you may want to check that with an actual document.
Then if say the actual text is say 7 lines long
- I would subtract this from the 30. This would leave 23 lines. I would
then divide this by 2 leaving either 11 or 12 lines to insert. I would
just control home to the top of the page and count pressing the return
key 11 or 12 times in this case.
This would leave the middle line of your short piece of text at about
line 15 or in the midddle of the page.
There may be more elegant solutions but I think for most purposes this
should provide a fairly quick and easy solution.

Hi
I am having a problem finding the way to orientate the text of a letter to the middle of a sheet. The default is to the top of the page and on a short letter this look silly. Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks Roger
