How would one center text on the screen? I'm sure there's some kind of command for it.

While I'm at it, how do you align text on the left and right? That would be extremely helpful.

Look in the text menu. I believe the command is ctrl+shift+'

You can also use Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+].
Wonder what they do...

Would that keep the text in the middle of the page? It doesn't seem to be working...

Are you clicking on the little box at the top of the textbox?

Yep. The little box is purple, I press Ctrl and "+" at the same time (and shift in order to get the "+" not the "="), and nothing happens..

There's the problem. You're supposed to hit the apostrophe key not the plus key. Control shift apostrophe.

... Uhhh... Still nothing. Does it matter which shift I press? And do I have to hold them down simultaneously?

And does this jump it to the middle of the sheet?

It should. And like Shado said, all of our keystrokes used the "+" as an "and".

That clears it up a lot. ... But... It's still not doing anything. Everything just stays still. Like I'm not doing anything..

As you ad a new button, keep the last one held down. Only release when they're all held down.

I don't know what it is with my version.... It might be glitching or something, because all that makes sense, but still, nothing's happening..
