It has to do with the style of text that you are using (it is set to have 6pt spacing after). For example, I changed the column of text to 'body text' and made sure the spacing before/after was set to '0'.
Aligning text is a simple enough task. You just select the text and click the appropriate option: Align Text Left, Center, Align Text Right, or Justify. You might not realize that Word can align text vertically as well.

It's not a feature most of us would use every day. Perhaps you're creating a brochure or sign or you want to insert just a table on a page by itself. You might use blank lines to position the text or table because you don't know any other way. To center a page in Word 2003, do the following:.
From anywhere on the page, choose Page Setup from the File menu. Click the Layout tab. In the Page section, click the Vertical Alignment dropdown and choose Center. Click OK. No guesswork, just a centered page!
