title: LaTex - how to create boxes with fixed heights and widths, with enclosed text that is vertically and horizontally aligned?
body: <p>This is for creating flashcards in LaTeX. My printer doesn't support duplex printing - which packages like flashcards and flacards seem to require - so I am trying to create a two-column arrangement as follows on each page:</p>
  
  <p>[Col1: Front side of the card] [Col2: Back side of the card]</p>
  
  <p>Each row would correspond to a single flashcard. The plan is to cut each row up, fold them along the middle and staple them to create a "card".</p>
  
  <p>The question: how best can I create a single box with a specified height and width, and with the text in it aligned vertically? </p>
  
  <p>I am relatively new to Latex, so this cripples my options. I don't need full, detailed answers necessarily - any pointers at all in the right direction would help immensely! Any suggestions on alternative methods to achieve what I'm shooting for would also be helpful.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks!</p>
