Suzanne -- that works much better! Where did you learn that? I tried the
Help section many times and I couldn't find any help in this area.

FWIW, I would find it a lot easier just to click Ctrl+E to center text.

rbw,
Don't know what version of Word you are using, but from version 2002
on (I
think) there is the click and type option. You can enable/disable it
on
the
Edit tab in Tools - Options. When it is active you will see a
mousepointer
which will change appearance as you navigate over your page if you put
it
near the center it will change in an I-pointer with some lines under
it,
double click and you will center the text you are typing.
I have not used WordPerfect for a number of years now, so I do not
know if
it will help.

I'm used to a "shadow cursor" which I used in Word Perfect. When
the
cursor
is placed near the center of a line, a "shadow cursor" tells you
exactly
where the center is. Then, when typing a heading, for example, the
heading
"centers" automatically. Is this feature available in Word? I have
been
unable to find it.
