Thanks for your response, but I have inserted a hard enter at the end of each
line. I have highlighted only the text I want to re-align, and I'm still
having the problem. When I select and re-align one line of text in a text
box, the entire contents of the text box goes to the new alignment. I've
been using Publisher for years and have never seen this happen before.

Use an enter after each line. The justified alignment won't work unless you
have a sentence that will fill the space. A short sentence won't justify
unless you use a shift+enter. Doing the shift+enter will justify all lines.
If you use a hard return after each line you can align left, right and
center, but not justify.

Pub 07 Win XP. Aligning one line of text re-aligns all text in the
textbox.
If I want the first line left justified, the second centered and the third
right justified, I can't do it. Do I really need separate text boxes?
