Centering Article and Article name centered below it
okay, I have an an article style which centers and numbers the article. The
article, of course, has a title to it and I would like to show that title directly underneath the article. But instead, if I hit enter the whole line moves down. If I hit shift enter the title properly goes to the next line and when I tried to center that under article, the title is centered, but the article is shifted to the right? Does anyone out there have another program that is better than this? For a decade styles has been a complete mystery |

Is your cursor at the _end_ of the line with the chapter number when you press "Enter"? "Shift-Enter" simply starts a new line that's part of the same paragraph. (You should always have at least your Paragraph Marks and your Tab Characters showing -- in your Display Options (2007) or View Options (2003). To show all Non-Printing Characters, press Ctrl-Shift-8.) Does the chapter number paragraph have indentation of the first line showing on the Ruler? Drag the upper triangle directly over the lower triangle to fix that. |

Centering Article and Article name centered below it
Thank you. The title of the section, I call it "ARTICE" in the legal
document. The modification on the its heading 1, I inserted that it would be centered. When I put a title, just a couple words like "RECITATION" and hit inter the article is properly incerted and recitation appears to be centered, despite the fact that, if I add some characters behind the recitation, you would excpect article to move to the left. But it doesn't. Note that modify also has to be set on Left margin, to get it to center. I did that in the new multilist also. So now I try to split the recitation on a different line just below it, using Shift+Enter. Recitation goes on the next line and looks centered correctly, but article is moved to the right about 75% across the line. Then, if you curser on the word and use the center command, article disappears entirely, leaving recitation properly centered. I'm having a simialr problem with styles, of heading 1,2,3,4,5 which I create and make it a quick style, and have even named it Normal.docm and the other extention which I can't think of. But when I go out of word, and call in a new sheet, styles 2 and 5, loose their aspects, while 1,3,4 are as I left them. I even made the normal file a "read only file" without any difference. There is something wrong with style. I read too many questions and reply from very intelligent people who have to take extraordinary measures, and probably give up. For example, using left justify which comes out as centered. This one Stephanie said took her a lot of time to figure out. Do you know of a developer who has a program that disposses of the defective styles and puts in another one?....that is having not been crushed by Monopoly power of MicroHard? |

I think the problem may be that in the position section of the multilevel
list dialog (or outline list dialog--you didn't say which version), the number alignment is set at "center". It should be set at "left". In most circumstances, you should not try to format the numbers in the multilevel/outline list dialog. Instead, leave formatting to the paragraph style. Pam bretsharon wrote: Thank you.

Thank you. But I've long known about this anomoly. But sometimes if you put
in center, it does it, but many times you do have to put in left.
