Yes, it worked fine. The problem is the basic difference between Word and
Word Perfect. Word was created by computer programers and Word Perfect was
created by people who were using the typewritter to do work. So Word Perfect
is much more intunitive and straight forward to those who learned to type on
a typewriter and just want to get the job done in the fewest possible strocks.
But I now understand and indeed it now works

I need to be able to center align part of the text in the body of the
text and then on the same line right justify another portion of the
text. It is not a header or footer (but looks like what you can do
in a header and footer) but in the text body - so how do I do this?
In Word Perfec this is called a 'hard center on margin' and 'hard
flush right' which you can do on one line of text.
Word works completely differently from WordPerfect for this (and many other
features). In Word, you need to place a center-aligned tabstop at the
midpoint and a right-aligned tabstop at the right margin, and then separate
the items with tab characters. The Header and Footer styles already include
the proper tabstops, and you can add them to any other style (this is easier
to re-use than manually inserting the tabstops into particular paragraphs).
