Tab alone will not indent the paragraph unless you have this option enabled
(which I don't ordinarily, though occasionally I enable it when I'm creating
outlines). For me, a tab is just a tab. But thanks for the tip that I can
use Ctrl+Tab for an ordinary tab character when I do have that option
enabled.

Tab alone will do; Ctrl+Tab accomplishes nothing different.

Tab alone would indent the entire paragraph not just the final line, which
ctrl+tab would only indent the final line.

You cannot have a different alignment on the last line unless you insert
a
paragraph (not line) break.

That's correct, I misunderstood you, sorry.

I see no reason why this would be the case. A line break is not the same
as
a column break. What do you mean by this?

This too, you're correct, I thaught you meant a Continuous section break,
sorry.

or just insert a line
break, and center align the final line.

Second, a line break would mess up
the entire document layout on a two column document.

Finally, whatever you
do, if you want to add additional text to the paragraph, the whole
document
gets a whole big mess.

This would certainly be true.

If you insert a line break at the end of the next-to-last line, you
can
insert a tab character to push the last line to a centered tab stop
at
the
center of the line.

Making the final line of a paragraph a different allignment, i.e.
the
body
text should be full justified and the last line of each paragraph,
centered.
