[scribus] Vertical centering of text in a frame

[scrib at wexfordpress.com]

Should have read the subject line!
 For vertical centering I use blank lines with a single space character in 
each  before and after the text lines, exit the story editor and adjust the 
vertical height of the text frame from the bottom line. But again I use the 
story editor to start with.

If I put the line or line in a separate paragraph, highlight the text and
click on the icon that centers text in the text editor
that always works. for me.

If you mean horizontal centering in a true text frame you can do that with
the Story editor. Highlight the line and then
click on the appropriate icon on the upper right icon row. But the frame
must be created by clicking on insert>text frame
on the menu row.

If you create the frame by clicking on the "T" icon to create the frame it
doesn't put you in the story editor or give you that option.
