Look at the toolbar at the top of the Word window (the space with all the options). The word “Home” in the top left should be selected (it will be by default). If it isn’t (or you’re not sure), click on “Home. " Next, look under the “Paragraph” header, which is below “Home” and to the right. You should see three small buttons that look like pages with the text aligned to the left, center, and right. Click the button with the text aligned in the center.

If your text didn’t center, you may have accidentally deselected it before hitting the center button. You need to center your text while it’s selected without clicking anywhere else on the page.

If you want to add centered text at the end of your document, click at the end of your document, hit the enter/return key to start a new line, and click the “Center” button.

Align left Align center Align right Justify (similar to center except that words will automatically be stretched so that all the lines are the same width).

If you haven’t typed anything yet, skip this step. When you’re done, the text that you type will be centered vertically.

Click “Page Layout” in the upper toolbar (to the right of the “Home” tab that’s selected by default). Click the “Page Setup” button. In the window that pops up, click the “Layout” tab.

For example, if you have highlighted text that you want to center vertically, be sure to choose the “Selected text” option from the “Apply to” menu.
