Let's say I have a text frame that is about two lines high (in my case,
 the height is 10.6 mm and my text is 12 pt Arial).? Normally, the top

current stable version (1.4.0), what do I do to make this single line 
appear near the centre (vertically), i.e. about half way down from the 
top?

The setting you used is intended for subscript/superscript uses, it
moves the character above/below the "base" of the current line.

Have a look at Columns & Text Distances and change the top margin instead.

Hi Peter,

Thanks. I guess I had been doing it incorrectly for a long time, but the "bug" in the older versions made it work for me. I tried the Columns & Text Distances and that works exactly as I wish.  I appreciate your help.
