What sort of work are you doing that requires vertical centering?

I want to place the title, or text in the middle of the page, for the visual effect when the document is printed.
You should consider using the golden ratio instead, so roughly 61% of the remaining space on the page should be below the title and 39% above it.

Man times, like this time I was doing title pages (from official documents). Other times I may do signage.

Take that time. It's worth it - much of that time spent will still be of use if you switch to MS Office, because there's a lot of overlap.

In comparison, MSWord has a one-click option to center text on page. I have temporary access to MSWord and tried doing this. (Although I'm totally in the dark with the newest version, I found this option quite easily.)

I, too, consider the ability to center the text on a page vertically to be essential. It doesn't seem like it should be done as a "workaround."
