Default Left and right alignment on same line

Hi All,



I'm sure there is an easy way to do this but I just can't think of how.

I am setting up a new company letterhead and I need the beginning of the address and the date to be on the same line, the address to be aligned to the left margin but the date to be aligned with the right margin. As they are on the same line, if you click either left or right alignment they both move and I can't get the date to line up by using tabs.

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks,

leah

Might be an idea to upload your letterhead.

There are probably several options to the best way to approach this depending on how you have set out your letterhead.

Things you might want to consider. Is the letterhead only for one page, do you require different information on the second page etc

If your letterhead is has information that is Data sensitive, replace it with something like "ABC Company, 123 Street, AnyTown etc." before unloading.

I have attached. You will see where the writing is not aligned.

Ideally, I'd like the bottom spaced line and page number only if there were to be a second page, but I have no idea how to do this either! It's been a while since I've used word unfortunately

Default Revised Document

I have attached a revision of your document.

On the Page Layout Tab you have a Page Setup group. Click the arrow in the right hand bottom corner which will bring up the Page Setup dialog box. Select the Layout tab at the top under Section, choose New Page, under Headers and Footers, check different first page.

In the header I have inserted a text box for your address instead of a table and positioned this behind text so it stays in the same place when you adjust the header.

Also in both the header and footer I have inserted a dashed line so they stay in position when entering information in the body of your letter. On the second page header the page number is as on the first page.

The date is right aligned, although you said you wanted it on the same line as your address, you didn't specify which line.

Paper size etc remains the same as your original.

THANK YOU very very much, this is fantastic and I really do appreciate it. I wish I could work my way around word like you do! I'm an excel queen but word and I have never been friends.

Thanks again!!

Another way is to set up a Left Tab, Centre Tab and a Right Tab on the left margin, centre of the line and on the right margin respectively, on only one line. Characters to left of the right tab are automatically right aligned.

Yet another is to set up a one row, two column table; stretch it out to the margins and hide the border. Each cell then has its own alignment characteristic.

Cheers,
