Microsoft Word includes several tools for adjusting the alignment of text -- words, sentences and paragraphs. Although text aligns left with the left document margin automatically, you can re-align paragraphs with the right margin, justified to both margins or centered between margins. You can also align paragraphs to the borders of a text box, or align the text box with the document margins. Whatever your reason for centering paragraphs, you can usually perform the alignment in Word 2007 or Word 2010 in less than a minute.
