Is there a Word interpretation of TeX's `\hfil` and `\vfil`?
I've come to love TeX's \hfil and \vfil macros, which insert a rubber space (horizontal or vertical, respectively) that can be used to shove content around on a page with respect to the margins.
For example,
Some text\hfil here
produces
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Some text here |
| |
. .
and
Some text
\vfil
here
produces
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Some text |
| |
. .
| |
| here |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In light of this, we all know we can't always use the tool we love the most, so I'm stuck with MS Word 2007. As I recall, the abuse of tabular environments always leads to tears, so I'd rather avoid them. Is there any actual Word analogy here?
Note that I do not mean to justify the text either vertically or horizontally (as Word understands the term 'justification') -- while the text will span the entire text area in either case, justification usually implies that the word spacing is still somewhat uniform. I need the text to maintain default spacing on either end.
Solution 1:
For \hfil you can use a right tab stop.
For \vfil, the only thing I can come up with is to change the line spacing preceding the text here, but I don't think that's what you're after since you want something "flexible."
