I've had word 2000 since 2000. Occassionally I have a few problems but for
the most part it is a really reliable old friend. Here's a question about
formatting.
You guys all told me about "Left alligned" after doing something like
centering a line of text and here is my question. I have a very long word
document and I selected everything from the line under "chapter one" to the
end of the document. I then hit control L to make the left side alligned.
I then went back and centered all the "chapter" lines. Did I clean up this
document right? Thanks, Judith
