the f1 help for

file > page setup > header (or footer)

specifies that text following "&b" will be centered and that text following
"&b&b" will be right justified

however i am finding that both "&b" and "&b&b" right-align my header
(footer) text

is this a known bug ? if so, is there a workaround ? if not, what could i
be doing wrong ?

Where are you reading that?

I just pressed F1 and entered print* AND &b
in the search box and found this (excerpted from right-click View Source)

<TITLE>Change how a Web page looks when it prints</TITLE>

<quote>
<TR>
<TD>Right-aligned text (following &amp;b)</TD>
<TD>&amp;b</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Centered text (between &amp;b&amp;b)</TD>
<TD>&amp;b&amp;b</TD>
</TR>
</quote>

Using this information I would rewrite your statement as:

specifies that text following "&b" will be right justified
and that text between "&b&b" will be centered
Click to expand...
</example>

I agree that leaving &b&b under the "Type this" column
might be confusing but it's hard to imagine how they could
have presented that particular feature any less ambiguously.
(E.g. using an ellipsis to represent the text to be centered
might still be construed as being part of the code.)

Does that interpretation help?


Good luck
