vertical centering of data

[voodoo]

I had to create a text box that is a little larger vertically than a normal
text box. When the user enters data in the text box, it appears at the top
part of the text box leaving a little more space at the bottom of the text
box than what is visually appealing. It would be nice to center the data
inside the text box so that there is equal space above and below the data
entered in the text box. Is there any way to center the data inside the
text box so that there is equal spacing both vertically as well as
horizontally?

I know this is getting a little picky but as I said, it would be more
visually appealing if Access provided for vertical centering of data.

Voodoo,
Why not place a Rectangle behind the text control to occupy
the space you need, and camoflage your text control "to the front" of that.
Example:
Ex: Bigger white box with black border with a white, no border, usual
height, text control... centered and "to the front" of the rectangle.

Perhaps I am not understanding your question properly but can't you simply
adjust the 'Top Margin' (Properties - Format tab) value to center your text?

Yep, this is the better answer. I typed in 0.025" in the Top Margin
property and the value did move into position quite nicely. Thanks you all
for your help and creativity.
