How to vertically align text in a text/image box

[coolemail2]

I am using a text/image box in which I have an image that is left-aligned and some text to the right of it. I want this text to be vertically centered in that box.

I tried to be clever and added

vertical-align: middle

in the box where that text was but that did not work.

Is this a case where I need to make a change to the metadata in the Settings menu? If so, what would I put there because it will only be one-off occasions when I will want to do that.

I do hope someone can help. It would be ideal if Parallels could enable vertical aligned icons as well as the horizontal ones in the Edit menu. Is that possible with ease?
