I have a report that prints out 10 Labels to a page and some information doesn't take up the whole Label, so I was wondering if there was a way to vertically center the information so that the whitespace isn't so drastic. You can do it in Excel, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do it in the Access Report.

Thanks for any help in advance.
 
Go to the properties of the text box and you will see a field called text align. Under the dropdown there is a selection available for "center".

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather-- who died peacefully in
his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.
 
That centers it horizontally, I want to do it vertically
