I will try this when I get back to my office. The evil document in question
definitely was not set up with columns but there may be a bit of spaghetti
code tucked away in there somewhere. I have found some buggy behavior in
other Word documents that makes me wonder whether someone did some less than
desirable tweaking to the global template.
Thanks!

Though I share CyberTaz's confusion, I'll charitably assume that you're
using landscape orientation. If so, try this:
1. Format | Columns.
2. Set "Apply to" to "Whole document."
3. Click on the preset picture for One (even if 1 column is already
selected); this will check the "Equal column width" box.
4. OK.

This is a very bizarre thing: the text is centered just fine in a letter
sized document, but change the page size to legal and the centering is
still
for letter.
I checked the styles and formatting and there is nothing to explain this.
Ditto with clearing all the formatting and then trying to center. I also
tried creating a center tab - also didn't work.
The page does have a page border but I also found nothing in those
settings
to explain why the document text will not recognize the new page size.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks.
