VBA Code for Centering a Line

I am creating a large variable string representing several paragraphs.  The paragraphs are divided by Chr(13) & Chr(10) and start with a tab character (vbTab).

Is there a similar code or character that I could use to indicate that a paragraph is to be centered or left-justified?
Answer
Answer

No.  If you want to use VBA to set the alignment of a paragraph, you would use:

 

Selection.Paragraphs(1).Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter

 

From the VBA help file for Alignment

 

Paragraph.Alignment Property (Word)


 

Returns or sets a WdParagraphAlignment constant that represents the alignment for the specified paragraphs. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.Alignment

expression Required. A variable that represents a Paragraph object.

Remarks

Some of the WdParagraphAlignment constants, depending on the language support (U.S. English, for example) that you've selected or installed.

Example

This example right-aligns the first paragraph in the active document.

VBA

Sub AlignParagraph()

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight

End Sub
