More

Since

the

line end itself acts as a signal to stop centreing,

you

 

can insert the Centre command anywhere within the line, as long

 

as it is inserted before the line end.

 

 

 

 

If a Centre command is entered in a line that has been placed

 

with the Text Placement Absolute command, the line will still be

 

placed vertically between the current margins. The vertical

 

positioning

of the Text

Placement Absolute is

still valid, but

the

 

horizontal

positioning

is overridden by the

Centre command.

Refer to ªAbout the page formatting features,º for information on

Text Placement Absolute.

When the printer receives a Centre command for a line that extends beyond both left and right margins, it extends the excess equally beyond both margins; an error message appears on your Summary Sheet.
