Duxbury calls this "Vertical Centering" which is in the Layout Menu,
Page Codes, Vertical Centering.

Hi Don and George,

Here is my two cents worth.

The real answer to which is better is both.

Duxbury is more versatile and will be updated more.  However, MegaDots
has certain features that I like.

First of all, MegaDots has an easy way of formatting page or other
introductory material.  I like the "stretch mode" for teh title page
that makes sure that material has a top and bottom line, is relatively
evenly distributed, and is centered.

The style system is simpler.

On the other hand, Duxbury is more stable.  Tabs don't cause it to
crash.
