How to center text in label?
The text in my 8163 shipping label - using Word - aligns all the way to the
left and I want to center the block of 6 lines so that there is an even amount of white space on each side. How do I do this? |

You don't, at least not through the wizard.
I create a page of the label I want specially formatted and then do the formatting, generally through a style. Save it as a template. If I am only typing a single label, I create a new document from that template. I type the info in the label that I want to use. I then mark the text as hidden and save the page for reuse. Next time, since I can see the hidden text on my screen, I know not to use that label. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

You can center the label text with Ctrl+E, which will center every line.
That's probably not what you want. If you want the text left-aligned but visually centered, you'll probably need to compromise. Years ago I had a DOS database program, PC-File, that would spit out address labels that were centered as you describe, but this undoubtedly required a bit of programming and replicating it in Word would require either a lot of manual formatting or some tidy VBA. You can align all the addresses to a sort of average center position, though, by adding a left indent to the label paragraph(s). -- Suzanne S.
