= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, lines of text that are centered with the centered justification icon in the ruler may not appear to be centered correctly on the screen. This problem can occur because the midpoint between the left and right indents is farther right than the middle of the screen.

However, if the text is visibly not centered between the two indents, extra spaces before or after the text may be causing the problem. Use the following steps to determine if this is the problem:


 * 1) Select leading spaces by dragging the pointer from the beginning of the first word on the line toward the left margin; then, press BACKSPACE (DELETE on some keyboards) or choose Cut from the Edit menu.
 * 2) Select trailing spaces by dragging the pointer from the last word on the line toward the right margin; press BACKSPACE (DELETE on some keyboards) or choose Cut from the Edit menu.
