Aligning text
Is there a way in Word (as there is in Wordperfect using
Flush commands)to align some words on a line with the left margin and some words on the same line with the right margin? In Wordperfect I could set up a document with a title on the left side and the date aligned on the right margin but cannot find a way in Word to do this. |

Jo,
Here is a macro for doing this: Sub FlushRight() On Error GoTo ErrorHandling Dim sngLeftMargin As Single 'left margin setting for current document Dim sngRightMargin As Single 'right " " " Dim sngPageWidth As Single 'page width " " Dim sngWidthToRight As Single 'setting required for custom tab stop 'retrieve document's margin and page width settings sngLeftMargin = CSng(ActiveDocument.PageSetup.LeftMargin) sngRightMargin = CSng(ActiveDocument.PageSetup.RightMargin) sngPageWidth = CSng(ActiveDocument.PageSetup.PageWidth) sngWidthToRight = sngPageWidth - (sngLeftMargin + sngRightMargin) Application.ScreenUpdating = False With Selection ..Paragraphs.TabStops.Add _ Position:=sngWidthToRight, Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight, Leader:=wdTabLeaderSpaces ..InsertAfter Text:=vbTab ..EndKey Unit:=wdLine 'ensure the next line has the default tab stop If .Type = wdSelectionIP And _ ..End = ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1 Then 'if no line below the current Line ..TypeParagraph 'new line Else 'move to the beginning of next line ..MoveDown _ Unit:=wdLine, _ Count:=1 End If ..ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll 'restore default tab stop ..MoveUp _ Unit:=wdLine, _ Count:=1 'move the insertion point... ..EndKey _ Unit:=wdLine '...to the right margin, ready for text End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'display on ErrorHandling: End Sub -- Greg Maxey A peer in "peer to peer" support Rockledge, FL To e-mail, edit out the "w...spam" in Jo Farnworth wrote: Is there a way in Word (as there is in Wordperfect using Flush commands)to align some words on a line with the left margin and some words on the same line with the right margin?

Set the paragraph formatting to left aligned and set a right aligned tab on
the right margin and insert a tab space between the left and right parts of the text. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
