Thank you to everyone who has helped in answering my question about using bold 
writing and centring texts.

  Hi Adrian

  I can probably do both.  To centre something, type control plus e.  Remember 
to do control plus l to go back to aligned left for the next line if that is 
what you want.  The bold command is a switch really, if you do control plus b, 
jaws should say bold on.  To turn it off again, do control plus b once again 
and jaws will say bold off.

  A couple of extra ones for you, control plus r for right aligned.  Control 
plus j for justified, and  you can also do control plus 2 for double spacing.  
Control plus 1 puts you back into single spacing and if you really want to do 
this, you can also use control plus 5 for one and a half line spacing.

  All these commands work in Word 2000, whether  they work in the latest 
flavour of the program I don't know but they certainly do in office 2003.

  One final thing to say, make sure you check your formatting with insert plus 
f.  You will hear all the information you should normally need.  If you change 
your mind on the layout of a document, you need to highlight the area you want 
to change before you execute the command, otherwise you will only change the 
character you are highlighting, so you need to remember what you are doing 
carefully.  Braille displays are wonderful for looking at documents as you can 
see the areas you have underlined, made bold etc.  

  I've probably told you too much now, but it's better to have too much 
information than too little.  Hope the articles you intend to write are 
successful and achieve what you want.

  I know this is not JAWS related, but some help would be very much appreciated.

  I need to write an article for our local magazine, and I am not sure how to 
go about either centring text, or write certain passages in bold writing in a 
word document.

  Please, can someone tell me how to go about carrying out this process?

  Thank You In Participation,
