Fernando, All good points. As you seem to suggest, it's odd that control-e toggles between center and left-align when there's control-l for left-align. Because control-e is a toggle, I'm forced each time to check the margin to ensure I haven't done the opposite of what I intended.

For this case of centering, for example, I thought that if you needed to switch back to left you would have to press CTRL+L (or CTRL+Q if using Spanish Word, the language I primarily use). In addition to your helpful hints, I'll comment that if you want that the next new paragraph to use the alignment you chose, you have to press the corresponding keystroke on a blank line before starting to type. Moreover, if you want a certain alignment even when you create a new heading, you can set the chosen alignment and other paragraph settings as the default values, either for all new documents based on the current template (Normal.dotm, unless the current document was created from a template saved as such thing) or only for the current one; this is done by using the Set as Default button located in the Paragraph dialog, just before the OK button. There's a Set as Default option in the Paragraph group of the Page Layout tab in the ribbon, but I don't remember if it is for all documents or let you decide. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, August 2, 2017 6:20 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Word 2016 Yes, I think that's right. If you want to center a paragraph or more of text, first select it, then press control-e. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Miriam Vieni Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2017 4:58 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Word 2016 Interesting because I thought I would have to do something to get back to align left, but I didn't. Perhaps that's because I had already written the lines of text on the left margin and just used control e to center each line. So when I was at the end of each line that I wanted to move, I pressed enter, and I was back at the left margin again.

One more point. Control-e is a toggle between centering and aligning left. I think you can fit all that on a 5 by 3 card!! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Miriam Vieni Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2017 3:49 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Word 2016 Yes, that works. Thank you. And I think I've already used it and then, because of my aging brain, forgot it. I now have to keep all these little braille notes on 3 by 5 cards, next to my computer, for times like this. That key stroke has been the same for as long as I've been using word!
