vary text alignment in the same line

[dale061327]

I want to have part of the same line left aligned and part right aligned. In
Word 2002 "Help" on this subject says, "To insert right-aligned, text move
the I-beam pointer until you see the Align Right icon . Double-click, and
then start typing your text." Problem: I begin the line left aligned. Then I
want to finish the line right aligned. No matter how I move the I-beam
pointer in the line, the Align Right icon never appears to double click on so
I can't finish the line with text right aligned. I want the line to look like
this:

Hi dale061327,

You should use a table with two columns. Apply left alignment to the first,,
and right alignment to the second column. Insert your text as you wish in the
cells.

Good luck,
Cooz

Well, first of all, I don't recommend ever using Click-and-type. But the
correct way to do this is to use a left-aligned paragraph, beginning your
text at the left margin. Insert a right-aligned tab stop at the right margin
and tab to it, then continue typing. For more, see
