Default Can not center text

Am I missing something here?

Everything you mention refers to *horizontal* centering, but Letter & Legal
size don't differ in width, only height (8.5x11 as opposed to 8.5x14). What,
exactly, are you expecting to see happen? The *middle* of an 8.5" wide page
is the middle of an 8.5" wide page regardless of how tall the page may be.

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.
