- I'm sure there are much better solutions, but the following will work
- (provided that I have understood your questions correctly):
-
- Put the box, more data, and more data in three \minipage
- environments. Then place \vfill at the top and bottom of
- your minipages to vertically center the items of each
- minipage.
-
- Well, I guess the above is an ``if all else fail'' solution!
-
- Good luck!
