Default Word - to make the final line of a paragraph a different allignmen

If you insert a line break at the end of the next-to-last line, you can
insert a tab character to push the last line to a centered tab stop at the
center of the line.

Makes it damnably hard to read, though. Still, I've seen it done in "arty"
books.

Default Word - to make the final line of a paragraph a different allig

First, you don't have to insert a line break, you could just insert a
centered tab and press ctrl+tab at the final line, or just insert a line
break, and center align the final line. Second, a line break would mess up
the entire document layout on a two column document. Finally, whatever you
do, if you want to add additional text to the paragraph, the whole document
gets a whole big mess.

Tab alone would indent the entire paragraph not just the final line, which
ctrl+tab would only indent the final line.

That's correct, I misunderstood you, sorry.

I see no reason why this would be the case. A line break is not the same as
a column break. What do you mean by this?


This too, you're correct, I thaught you meant a Continuous section break,
sorry.

Tab alone will not indent the paragraph unless you have this option enabled
(which I don't ordinarily, though occasionally I enable it when I'm creating
outlines). For me, a tab is just a tab. But thanks for the tip that I can
use Ctrl+Tab for an ordinary tab character when I do have that option
enabled.
