Align text vertically

I have the following HTML / CSS code in which a line of text is displayed in a green box with a dark green outline. Unfortunately, the text is shown closer to the top of the window. I would like it to be in the vertical middle. What do I need to change to get this effect?

Thanks PaulH

See here .

In your case, if your text is only one line, method 2 works. Just replace heightwith line-height.
