Text Alignment problem
Pub 07 Win XP. Aligning one line of text re-aligns all text in the textbox.
If I want the first line left justified, the second centered and the third right justified, I can't do it. Do I really need separate text boxes? -- Charles Joseph Silk Purse Productions |

Text Alignment problem
In Publisher 2000 it can be done by putting the cursor at the start of the
line and selecting the position wanted. -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "Max" wrote in message ... Pub 07 Win XP. Aligning one line of text re-aligns all text in the textbox.

Text Alignment problem
Use an enter after each line. The justified alignment won't work unless you
have a sentence that will fill the space. A short sentence won't justify unless you use a shift+enter. Doing the shift+enter will justify all lines. If you use a hard return after each line you can align left, right and center, but not justify. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Max" wrote in message ... Pub 07 Win XP.

Text Alignment problem
Thanks for your response, but I have inserted a hard enter at the end of each
line. I have highlighted only the text I want to re-align, and I'm still having the problem. When I select and re-align one line of text in a text box, the entire contents of the text box goes to the new alignment. I've been using Publisher for years and have never seen this happen before. -- Charles Joseph Silk Purse Productions "Mary Sauer" wrote: Use an enter after each line.

Text Alignment problem
A hard return works for me. Turn on Special Characters (¶ on the toolbar) maybe
you will get a clue if there is formatting you are not seeing. Also the Design Checker (Tools) can be helpful as well. -- Mary Sauer MVP http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Max" wrote in message ...

Text Alignment problem
Something isn't right. I created a new text box in a new document. I
entered 5 lines of text with a hard enter(shift+Enter) at the end of each line. Then 5 lines of text with a regular enter. Then 5 lines with the hard enter again. The special character key confims the enter type. Each group of hard enter lines moves together when any line in the group is re-aligned. Each line with a regular enter moves independently as it should. Design Checker finds no problem, and no formatting has been applied to the document. -- Charles Joseph Silk Purse Productions "Mary Sauer" wrote: A hard return works for me.

You have it reversed, the Enter key alone is a hard enter (or paragraph),
Shift-Enter is a soft one (or sometimes called a line break). -- James Orlando (Goofy says "Hey"), Florida "Max" wrote in message ... Something isn't right.
