Does anyone know how you can center entries in tables using Microsoft 
Word 4.0 **vertically**? (As opposed to horizontally, which is easily done
by simply using the ruler 'center' format)

If your cell is three lines in height, it is of course easy to do simply
by putting your entry on the middle line. If your cell is two lines in
height, though, I can't seem to see how to center the entry up-and-down.
'Subscript' and 'superscript' have no effect, as the cell is adjusted as
well. Using 'space-and-a-half' or 'double-space' from the ruler adjusts
the text so it is always on the bottom. Ideally, I would like a cell that
is a 1.5 lines in height, with the entry centered both horizontally and
vertically within.

Thanks in advance for your help; replies will be summarized if warranted.
