I recall being able to have one bit of text centered in a line while another piece of text in the same line is right justified. However, I don't recall how to do it and have not been able to find it in Word's help. All I can remember is that I did not need to use tables or text boxes to accomplish this. Thanks.

I think I found the answer - use the header style. Still... this isn't what I recall doing in the past.

You need to set a right aligned tab at the right margin and a centre tab at
the centre of the line.Tab once for the centre twice for the right
alignment. If you want to continue the paragraph break the line with
shift+enter.

This works because the Header style has built-in tabs, a center-aligned one
at the center of the line and a right-aligned one at the right margin.
Rather than use the Header style in the body of your document, however,
you'd be better advised to add the tabs to the style you're using. If you
don't know how to set tabs, see
