When I push my center alignment button on the formatting toolbar it is
centering every line in the document instead of just the paragraph.

I have tried opening a new document and it still happens.

Can you give more information?

Is this text that you've copied in or created yourself?

I'm wondering if you have some non-breaking spaces or soft-returns involved.

If you click the show/hide paragraph symbol, my guess is that it will
display spaces between your words as degree symbols rather than the usual
small dot and/or your paragrpah return as down-and-left pointing arrows
rather than the traditional double-p.

Cheers
