Simply click the Align button in the Format tab, and you can center it in the page. And if you’d like to align several objects together, simply select them all, click Group, and then select Group from the menu. Now, in the align tools, you can center the whole group on your page for a heading, or whatever you want to use the pictures for. Best Answer: You need to make the text in to a text box: either select Text Box from the Insert menu and type in your text, or if you have the text already then. Before you center the text on your title page, you need to separate the cover page from the rest of your report, so only the text on the cover page gets centered vertically. To do this, put the cursor right before the text you want in the new section and insert a “Next Page” section break.
Sometimes, what you need in your document to make it really stand out is centered text. For example, you can center your company’s contact information at the top of a letter or center a subheading above a section of text. All Macs come with Apple’s TextEdit application, which you can use for standard word processing tasks, including text formatting such as centering words or making them bold or italic.
Step 1
Click “Applications” on the Dock of the Mac, and then click “TextEdit” to launch Apple’s native word processing application. A new blank document will appear.
Step 3
Select the text that you want to center.
Step 4
Click “Format” from the TextEdit menu, then click “Text,” and then click “Center.” Alternately, click the “Center” button at the top of the document window, which is marked with an icon of centered lines of text.
