Default Flush right


Can anyone tell me if Word offers an equivalent to WordPerfect's "Flush Right" feature? I am not looking for how to aling a paragraph to the right. I want to align everthing to the right on my current line only, from my present cursor position.

I think you can do this if I understand your wishes by putting in a RIGHT TAB on the ruler. My Word is '97 and it is a bit tricky. Right click on the ruler near to the right margin marker to create a tab position (a tiny bold L). You have to position cursor within the ruler carefully. Then aim your cursor at the new tab symbol and double right click and hopefully you will raise a tab dialogue. You can then type in a position for a tab and select Right under alignment. Click set. Clear any left tabs you have there You should now have a back-to-front L marking a right tab. In the Doc you should be able then to TAB your cursor right until you reach the right tab. Hopefully it has been made easier in your version. Alternatively insert a table and then remove its gridlines because you can align text in the columns independently. Hope it helps!

Thank you. In Word 2007 your suggestion works, but with a left click at that location. In WordPerfect it's much easier (Alt+F7), you needn't worry about clearing tabs, and you can nudge text back to the left by inserting spaces after it, but this will do for the most part. Thanks again.
