If a \centering occurs at top-level in a latex document, then *everything* after it will be centered: it's a declaration that remains in force for the current group (which is the rest of the document if it occurs at top-level). \begin{center}...\end{center} is essentially {\centering ...} except that it also starts a new paragraph. It's not clear to me at least, that wholesale replacement is the correct thing to do: it needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis I think. Nick
