Subject: vertical alignment (center text vertically)
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to center a multiline text horizontally and
vertically on a page.
(I'm planing to write something like vocabulary cards). The horizontal
alignment is no problem but how to center the text vertically?
thanks
Robert
In ERT put
\vspace*{\fill}
before and after you text and it will align it centrally.
Just so you understand the ERT and for future reference. On a page you can
use \vfill to provide a space on a page between objects such that they fill
the page. However if you put \vfill as the first of last thing on a page it
is removed.
However \vspace* is not removed and the \fill command makes it equivalent to
\vfill
Obviously you could also set it to a length if you didn't want it centred.
e.g. \vspace*{2cm}
Hope this helps
Geoff
