Vertical Text Alignment

How do I vertically center text in cells?

Hi SheilaCV ,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Sorry, I don't think you can. However, you could put in spaces at the
begining of the text.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Hi Mike. Thanks for the welcome.
I want to have equal white space above and below the text in the cell.
Any ideas?

Hi Sheila

AFAIK it is only possible, doing it like Mike said, click in front of your
text, hold down the space bar until your text appears where you want it
(unfortunately, you'll have to let go every now & then and check as it
doesn't show as you do it) ... but this would be a lot of work for a
reasonable size project.

What is AFAIK?
Thank you but yall are missing my question...I want to center the text in
the box from top to bottom, not side to side. Adding spaces in front of the
text moves it horizontally (align, center; align left; align right)...

Hi Sheila,

As Far As I Know.

Well, as you wanted to center vertically, I assumed you have made the row
height greater than 3 or 4 and you were word wrapping the text. If so,
entering spaces at the front will centre the text as you want it when you
press the enter key.

oy!
I tried that too. I changed the row height and made the column smaller so
the text wraps. It looks great on the screen, but still puts the text at the
very top of the cell in the preview and in the printout. I'm giving up!
