Hi Rodster

Draw the rectangle the size you want. With the rectangle still selected,
click on the text box icon, click inside the rectangle and enter your text.
Right click on the selection frame of the rectangle, click on Format
autoshape, select the Alignment Tab, and set vertical alignment to center.
You can also set horizontal alignment the same way, or do it while you are
still in this window.

Thank you Kassie for your instructions. Howerver, I failed to specify in my
original question that what I am unable to to do is vertically center text
within the flowchart object and not the object themselves.

I would be most apreciative if you or anybody can provide instructions to
achieve this.

Hi Rodster

Yes it does?

Select all the rectangles you want to align vertically, click on Draw|Align
or Distribute|Align Center.

To centre horizontally (who would ever want to do that) Click on Draw|Align
or Distribute|Align Middle

Does the Flowchart "rectangle" function permit to vertically center align?
If yes, how?
