Page Setup: Horizontal and Vertical Page Alignment

[Frustrated]

In the page setup pane there was a check box for vertical and a check box for horizontal page alignment that would automatically align the entire page. In Word 2003, only the vertical alignment remains. Why was horizontal alignment removed? Now you have to play around with the margins to find the center instead of simply having the app place my text box in the center of the page.

There has never been such a setting in Page Setup. The setting you remember
is in Format Text Box | Layout | Advanced.

The setting I am referring to was included in Page Setup... I just happen to be attempting to center a text box. But if it were word art, text or anything else there was a check box for Horizontal and a check box for Vertical Page alignment on the Page Setup dialog box. I used it all the time
