Where's text centering on Word's menus?
LOL Loved your responses and glad you have it sorted, or would that be
"centered"? :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email cannot be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton wrote in message ups.com... Propeller-head prize: Myself, not Microsoft. User error again. Thanks to ALL who replied. *** Charles: Yep, it WAS a tough night. Threatening to call MS's employees propeller-heads is a sure sign of that. But actually, Excel is quite a GOOD word processor. I don't know if the world at large takes full advantage of this, but I almost always use Excel if I've got heavily formatted text in blocks or columns. Much easier (for me at least) to move stuff around than deal with tables in Word, don'tcha know. And if you've got BULLETED text, why you can adjust the bullet distance and do other nifty things. AND you don't have to deal with Word's proto-A.I. automatic bulleting & numbering, which I inevitably have to defeat in many circumstances. And if you've got data dependencies, which I always seem have, then you CANNOT beat Excel. About the only limitation (of importance to me, at least) is that Excel's grasp of the printed page, and its resultant paragraph wrap and the like, can indeed differ slightly from the printer driver's, and you occasionally gotta make a row a cell smaller or larger in height accordingly. But I can live with that. I mean, Excel HAS text wrapping. So I think Excel is just EXCELlent--even when not using it's numeric functionality. Yet ya've got that too. Doug: Strangely, about the only thing I've ever centered in my brief 24-year microcomputing career is a one- or multi-line title, rarely a paragraph. Ergo my mind blocked out checking the Paragraph menu item's dialog. Duh. Suzanne: Thanks for the shortcut, Ctrl-E. As a keystroke maven, I should've known it. But did I? No-o-o-o. Beth: Yeah, my empirical method was a joke. I only checked Format's main menu level. I'll make sure I have a coupla glasses of wine next time I try to find something empirically. Thanks again all. *** |
