MS Word: Cannot center text vertically on the page

Solution 1:

In Word, vertical orientation is stored in the Section Breaks.

You seem to have successfully changed the first section to center vertically; you would need to do the same thing for the second/last section.

There are many ways to do it, here is one:

  1. Go to the very end of the document, press SHIFT + CURSOR-RIGHT, to select the section character (invisible).
  2. Go to Page Layout/Page Setup/Vertical Alignment, and change it to 'Center'.
