From: Bruss on 4 Apr 2010 23:52 I have received a word document with text aligned with a "center gutter" or something --- I don't know what it is called. They are not using a table or columns to create this. Some lines have it, but others (Like "Starring" in the example below) do not. It seems to have something to do with the tab markers, but I cannot recreate the effect. I reads like this: Director GUY SMILEY Producer GEORGE LAKOFF Editor SAM SPADEY Starring George Jetston GEORGE CLOONEY Ringo FIDO etc, but where the center space between "Director" and "Guy Smiley" runs down the center of the page and is aligned. When I add text to "Director" it expands out to the left. When I add text to "Guy Smiley" it expands out to the right, keeping the "center gutter" or whatever it is called, lined up in the center. It seems to have something to do with tab markers on the top ruler, but no matter what I do I cannot recreate the effect. Help! Thank you

You would need a paragraph style with two tabs - a right aligned tab and a left aligned tab. Tab to the first right aligned tab and type the title, tab to the second tab and type the name You might find it easier to use a borderless table with three columns. The left column right aligned for the names, the centre column providing the space and the right column left aligned for the titles. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "Bruss" <Bruss(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:78333583-3627-49FD-8885-1B75A2355586(a)microsoft.com... >I have received a word document with text aligned with a "center gutter" or > something --- I don't know what it is called.
