Hi, Judith:
Your centering problem is an easy one. When you select text to be
centered, be sure it does not contain a carriage return. When a
carriage return is included in the text to be centered, Word will then
carry centering on throughout the entire section or until two carriage
returns are encountered.
If you do end up with the whole document centered, just select the
entire document with ctrl-a and then press ctrl-l to left justify the
selected text.
Your margin problem sounds like you may have been working with a
centered document which may have come about by centering text with a
carriage return in it. In that case, each line will start at a
different point on the line.
Off the top of my head, I'm not sure about your spacing problem.
Hope this helps.
Take care...
Dave

Subject: formatting
I don't know if anyone else has run into these problems or if you know
what to do about them. I am working on MS word 2000. Yesterday I ran
off a copy of something I have to submit and my son spent a long time
formatting it so that it looked professional. The problems were: 1. I
centered a headline and the whole section came out centered. Obviously
I wanted the headline centered and the rest in block form. If it
weren't for someone who was totally sighted it would have gone right by
me.
2. My margins are eratic. Sometimes I hear the indentation as ".05"
and other times the indent says "4.75." What do I do about this? My
margins are set for one inch but obviously the computer has other ideas.
3. In my letterhead I don't skip lines between the name line, address
etc. But according to my son there are skipped lines. When I read it
back with jaws there is no skipped line but when submitting something to
the sighted world I'm not advertising my eyes, just my work. If anyone
has any ideas as to how to adjust all these problems I would greatly
appreciate it. Judith
