I can find nothing in paragraph styles to center text vertically
on a page. Ross, Roxann is not trying to arrange the text
vertically (rotate the text), but to have equal space above and
below the text on the page, for example putting a title in the
middle of the page. At least, that's the way I read her question.
As far as I know, the only way to center a paragraph on a page
is the method suggested by Peter Hillier-Brook in another note on
this thread: create a single-celled table tall enough to fill the
page. Vertical centering is then a click on <Center vertical> in
the Table toolbar.

But did you find it anyway? If you look through the paragraph style
dialog tabs, you'll find "Rotation/scaling" under the "Position" tab.
The guide is still only a draft, but if it's not in there, or if the
manual needs to be better organised, then that's good to know.

How do you center a single paragraph on the page vertically?
I would suggest creating a paragraph style that meets your needs. Start
by opening the Style toolbar, select default and use the create a new
style from selection icon to start. For help in this effort see
