Paragraph tag with Frame below

You only need on tag - use an empty Frame Above the paragraph to move it
to the correct vertical position. 

In fact, you only need a Frame Above, by placing your "Intentionally
Left Blank" graphic at the appropriate vertical distance down from the
top of the frame on the reference page.

| paragraph tag called Blank Page, it is centered beneath the 
| paragraph tag, which is also centered on the page. The only

| place it so that the tag is centered top/bottom on the blank 
| page - otherwise, we just run into the same problem we had

| Right now, I have it kinda' kludged  - it's a two-step

| at the top of the blank page (which is always a left hand 
| page), then press return and the next paragraph tag is 
| automatically the BlankPage tag which has a space above set 
| to 120 pts and the graphic centered.  I want to do this in 
| one step (if I am making any sense and if it is even 
| possible). When a user clicks at the top of the blank page, I 
| want them to be able to click BlankPage and have the tag 
| automatically be placed in the center of the page, but other 
| than working with space above a tag (which means having 
| another tag first), I cant' figure out a way to do this.
