I think you are misunderstanding how the alignment controls work. A
paragraph can have only one alignment. Whichever alignment you select last will affect the entire paragraph. If you want some words on a line centered and others left-aligned, you'll need to set a center tab stop at the center of the line. For an example of this setup, see the Header or Footer paragraph. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm for more information on setting tab stops. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne Thank you. But I put a title at the top of page using control e.
Type in the title I want. Press enter several times to a position where I want the text to begin. Use control L to be at the left of the page to start typing text and the title of the page goes to the left of the page. If I control z title goes to center and cursor stays left but I know that it should not happen that way. I am thinking someone has change something in the settings. Mike "Suzanne S.

Ah, that's an entirely different situation. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm. But note that this would not happen if instead of using direct formatting you applied the Title style (modified as desired) to the title and the Body Text style to your body text. I also like to make Body Text the "Style for following paragraph" of the Title style. Define the Space After as needed in the Title style, and you can also avoid having to insert empty paragraphs, which are never a good idea in Word. Keep in mind that Word has to store just as much information about an empty paragraph as about a full one; adding empty paragraphs is like leaving lights or fans on in rooms you're not using. -- Suzanne S.
