This extra spacing before or after affects the centering in the same way that paragraph indents affect horizontal spacing. You should note that vertical centering will not give the desired results if you have the paragraph formatting for the text set to anything except single spacing, with no space before or after the paragraph.
Short of that, and I will continue to point out that this bug should have been solved years ago and that any claim that Libre can convert to and from doc files is utterly bogus until this is fixed.
#How do you horizontally center in word code#
Donate enough money to me so that I can take the time off necessary to learn to code (I used to know basic and Pascal) and I will fix this problem. Whenever criticism heats up, somebody always writes: Donate, fix it yourself or shut up. Since that always seems to be the escape clause, right? Donate enough to me, and I will spend 100% of the donations to teach myself the necessary code and I will fix this bug (or die trying). Have you donated to this one? If you have, then I suggest doing so again, since your last donation (if you donated) accomplished *squat*. It should just apply to the current page only and end at a page break - whether inserted manually or not and would best be accessed menu-wise through the Format - Page options.
The ability to center the typed text between the top and bottom margin allows one to have a nice looking one-page letter without having to futz about with adding extra white space anywhere to even out the letter on the page.
#How do you horizontally center in word software#
I routinely have documents (letters) where the first page is formatted with say a 2 inch top margin - sometimes they are one page, sometimes they go to two or three or more pages. Open Microsoft Word Click on File and the on Page Setup Click on the Layout tab Under the Page section set the Vertical Alignment to Center Last Updated On ApAbout the author Ian Carnaghan I am a software developer and online educator who likes to keep up with all the latest in technology. If it could be made into a command that could be assigned to a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut - that would be greatly appreciated. I would also love to see LibreOffice address this issue of centering text between the top and bottom margins without using something such as frames (which seems to not obey my bottom margin setting). I hope, now that Libre Office is competent hands, this limitation can be quickly remedied. I marked the priority as highest and the severity as critical because it's a limitation that would appear easy to remedy and has been requested for several years: On the other hand, this basic "one click" functionality is available in Textmaker, MS Office and Corel WordPerfect. LO currently fails to convert vertically centered when inheriting a document from MS Office, WordPerfect *or* Textmaker! It also means that because LO lacks this very simple and basic functionality, it remains incompatible with Microsoft Office. I can currently boot up Virtualbox, start at instance of XP Pro, choose WordPerfect from the Start Menu, then click on Vertically Center Text with fewer mouse/key strokes than it takes to accomplish the same thing in an *already running* instance of Libre Office. Libre Office's current method (inherited from Open Office) is unwieldy, absurdly inefficient, and incompatible with (to my knowledge) every other modern Word Processor. It should *not* be necessary to use Frames to Vertically Center Text on a page.
