I need help with this too. In fact I'd love a macro or to assign a keyboard
key because I use this so much (In Word Perfect it was F4 and so much quicker
than setting tab stops etc.)
I don't have a clue what you're talking about below! I'm switching to Word
07 after 25 years of WP. I have to say I am liking what I learn, but still
have to go back to WP to do a couple of things (one is typesetting: advancing
a line to a particular place, e.g., 3" from the left margin; but that is
another problem).
I read the FAQ but don't understand. Can you give simple a step-by-step?
Thx.

I need to be able to center align part of the text in the body of the

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).
