Thanks Stefan,
Going right now to grab the "Setting Tabs" info. I have my first Proper
Word Exam tonight - 7pm U.K. time, so just in time to do some fast reading :-)
Kindest Regards,
Alasdair.

You can set tab stops with the desired alignment (from FormatTabs).
If you need more information about tabs, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/SettingTabs.htm.

Alternatively, you can use a single-row table in the header (footer)
with a column for each entry and then format the text of the cells to
have the desired alignment.

Hi Folks, yet another small problem I am encountering with headers &
footers.
(My op system is windows XP pro & WORD 2000, my night class is using
windows
98)
When I get the" House Style Sheet" for various test papers the
header &
footer information is always different, ie:sometimes the header
needs to
contain canditate name and centre number(alignment centre) automatic
file
name (aligned right) Footer may be automatic field date, English
format
(alignment left) automatic page number(aligned right)etc.(this
always varies
with each test paper)my problem is that I cannot insert most of
these items
without the whole thing moving with the insertion of the second
requested
alignment.I can acheive the above by a mixture of tabbing and using
the space
bar but I dont think the Examiners when my final test comes and they
toggle
on the pilcrow to see my formatting will appreciate my method for
inserting
required alignments! Can anyone
tell me what I am doing wrong ? I have read the article on using
headers &
footers at earthlink.net but it does not seem to address my problem,
or maybe
the way I am doing the insertions is ok. Would someone please be
kind enough
to put me straight please.
Regards,
.
