MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / May 2006Word - to make the final line of a paragraph a different allignmen
Making the final line of a paragraph a different allignment, i.e. the body text should be full justified and the last line of each paragraph, centered. If you insert a line break at the end of the next-to-last line, you can insert a tab character to push the last line to a centered tab stop at the center of the line.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Second, a line break would mess up the entire document layout on a two column document. Finally, whatever you do, if you want to add additional text to the paragraph, the whole document gets a whole big mess. > If you insert a line break at the end of the next-to-last line, you can > insert a tab character to push the last line to a centered tab stop at the [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > > http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?mid=f4e9205b-5ab4-4 3c3-9b54-0b2b9a2a6950&dg=microsoft.public.word.pagelayout > First, you don't have to insert a line break, you could just insert a > centered tab and press ctrl+tab at the final line, Tab alone will do; Ctrl+Tab accomplishes nothing different. or just insert a line > break, and center align the final line.

I see no reason why this would be the case. A line break is not the same as a column break. What do you mean by this?

This too, you're correct, I thaught you meant a Continuous section break, sorry. ======================= > > First, you don't have to insert a line break, you could just insert a > > centered tab and press ctrl+tab at the final line, [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > > > > http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?mid=f4e9205b-5ab4-4 3c3-9b54-0b2b9a2a6950&dg=microsoft.public.word.pagelayout Tab alone will not indent the paragraph unless you have this option enabled (which I don't ordinarily, though occasionally I enable it when I'm creating outlines). For me, a tab is just a tab. But thanks for the tip that I can use Ctrl+Tab for an ordinary tab character when I do have that option enabled. SignatureSuzanne S.
