Default VISUAL MIDDLE OF PAGE

Hi, I am using MS Word to make signage for my store. I am doing a good job of
this but what to have the sale price be the focal point somewhere close to
the middle of the page visually. How do I know where the middle of the page
is? I usually have something like " As advertised" above the price and then
the description of the product and regular price below the special price. I
want this to be pleasing to the eye to attract attention. Thanks for you help.

If you want it to be "pleasing to the eye," then center it visually, using
Spacing Before; don't try to use Word's Center vertical alignment, which
will center it mathematically, but it will appear too low.

Thanks Suzanne, That is what I have been doing and after some tweaking have
gotten a pretty good eye for it. I had forgotten how to vertically align the
page but was reminded per your post. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome. When I do use Center alignment, I usually add Spacing After
to the last paragraph to compensate.
