How to move the text in a file so that the text is in the centre of the sheet.

I have tried numerous sources to give me clear , simple instructions to achieve my goal. I cannot get anything that is clear or simple enough for me to understand.

My question is , for any text in a file, what are the series of instructions so as to move the text so that it appears in the centre of a sheet in Microsoft Word.

Probably , I need some one to treat me as an idiot so that I may understand the instructions.

Horizontal centre, or vertical centre?

To centre horizontally: select the text, go to the Home tab and click on the Center button in the Paragraph group, or use the shortcut Ctrl+E.

To centre vertically: go to the Layout tab and click the small icon in the corner of the Page Setup group to display the Page Setup dialog.

On the Layout tab of the dialog change the Vertical alignment to Center.
