Default Text Alignment problem

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?

Default Text Alignment problem

In Publisher 2000 it can be done by putting the cursor at the start of the
line and selecting the position wanted.

Default Text Alignment problem

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.

Default Text Alignment problem

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.

Default Text Alignment problem

A hard return works for me. Turn on Special Characters (¶ on the toolbar) maybe
you will get a clue if there is formatting you are not seeing. Also the Design
Checker (Tools) can be helpful as well.

Default Text Alignment problem

Something isn't right. I created a new text box in a new document. I
entered 5 lines of text with a hard enter(shift+Enter) at the end of each
line. Then 5 lines of text with a regular enter. Then 5 lines with the hard
enter again. The special character key confims the enter type. Each group
of hard enter lines moves together when any line in the group is re-aligned.
Each line with a regular enter moves independently as it should. Design
Checker finds no problem, and no formatting has been applied to the document.

You have it reversed, the Enter key alone is a hard enter (or paragraph),
Shift-Enter is a soft one (or sometimes called a line break).
