want text to remain in center of page when typing document

Guest

could someone please help me to set the page so that when I enter text, it
will stay in the center of the page as I am typing new text. I want the page
to scroll up instead of the text reaching the bottom of the page and always
looking at the bottom of the page as I type documents. Using MS OFFICE WORD XP

From the File menu, select Page Setup. Select the Layout tab. Set
the vertical alignment to center.

Dawn has told you how to center text vertically on a page, but I think you
want to keep your typing in the middle of the screen, and I don't think
there's any way to make Word do this. It's better in some versions than
others, but not perfect in any.

I'd make a table with one cell. Center that cell on the page and then drag
the bottom border down to the bottom margin. Center your text in the cell
vertically. It's not necessarily the best way but it works.
