Use a table. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/tables.htm.
For ordinary text, this can also be done using center and right-align tabs.
Not sure that this will work with an equation, though. For an example of
this, apply the style "Header" to a paragraph and you'll have such tab
settings.

I would like to combine centered and right text alignment on a single line.
Specifically, I am entering a math equation using the equation editor and
I
want this to be centered. Then I want to add an equation number (1) that
is
oriented to the right on the same line as the equation. How do I do this?

Thanks,
Eric
