On the formatting toolbar, there is only an option to center text in the
middle of a page, table or cell.

How do you center text vertically within a cell, so that the text has equal
space above and below?
 
In a table cell, you can use the Vertical Alignment command to align text
Top, Center, or Bottom. Recent versions of Word offer only "Cell Alignment,"
which presents a palette of choices such as Top Left, Top Center, etc. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/CellAlignmentProbs.htm for how to
restore Word 97's Vertical Alignment command.

In text boxes and frames, Word doesn't provide a vertical alignment option;
instead, you have to align text manually using Space Before or (in text
boxes) by increasing the top text box margin.
