align text center and right on the same line
I need to be able to center align part of the text in the body of the text
and then on the same line right justify another portion of the text. It is not a header or footer (but looks like what you can do in a header and footer) but in the text body - so how do I do this? In Word Perfec this is called a 'hard center on margin' and 'hard flush right' which you can do on one line of text. |

Word works completely differently from WordPerfect for this (and many other features). In Word, you need to place a center-aligned tabstop at the midpoint and a right-aligned tabstop at the right margin, and then separate the items with tab characters. The Header and Footer styles already include the proper tabstops, and you can add them to any other style (this is easier to re-use than manually inserting the tabstops into particular paragraphs).

align text center and right on the same line
Yes, it worked fine. The problem is the basic difference between Word and
Word Perfect. Word was created by computer programers and Word Perfect was created by people who were using the typewritter to do work. So Word Perfect is much more intunitive and straight forward to those who learned to type on a typewriter and just want to get the job done in the fewest possible strocks. But I now understand and indeed it now works "Annette Frank" wrote: Worked beautifully -- thanks "Jay Freedman" wrote: Annette Frank wrote: I need to be able to center align part of the text in the body of the text and then on the same line right justify another portion of the text.

align text center and right on the same line
I need help with this too. In fact I'd love a macro or to assign a keyboard key because I use this so much (In Word Perfect it was F4 and so much quicker than setting tab stops etc.) I don't have a clue what you're talking about below! I'm switching to Word 07 after 25 years of WP. I have to say I am liking what I learn, but still have to go back to WP to do a couple of things (one is typesetting: advancing a line to a particular place, e.g., 3" from the left margin; but that is another problem). I read the FAQ but don't understand. Can you give simple a step-by-step? Thx.

Hi, here is your Advance code:
Insert QuickParts Fields Advance (set your settings as desired). I use this code (but it is usually on WP users who do). Hope this helps. "Legallisa" wrote in message ... I need help with this too.

align text center and right on the same line
As to your other problem - here is a fix I think a table would be better
with bodytext and put in autotext - this line is on its own that is why you would use a table really not do as below because anyone else editing would be very annoyed at trick formatting: CTRL Shift Spacebar(= 1 hard space)[1 spacebar space]The[CTRL spacebar]Report[1 spacebar space]docsliveonline (press CTRL J and shift enter). It is better to use a table and QuickParts or Autocorrect there are many options and if you describe what the format is for in a short example the suggestions can be a little more accurate. Glad you are enjoy Word. "Legallisa" wrote in message ... I need help with this too.

Answer: align text center and right on the same line
Your text should now be centered and right-aligned on the same line. You can adjust the tab stop position and alignment as needed for your specific document.
