Parameters

 

n

   Twice the value of the character position that you want to center
   the text around. (Absolute character positions on a line always
   start with 0 at the leftmost position on the page.)

   If you center the line of text between settings of the left and
   right margins, then n is equal to the value specified by the most
   recent .LEFT MARGIN command added to the value specified by the
   most recent .RIGHT MARGIN command.
 

+n

   Moves the character position around which the text is centered to
   the right by n/2 character positions. This value normally is used
   to adapt .CENTER to a new setting specified by the .LEFT MARGIN
   command.
 

-n

   Moves the character position around which the text is centered to
   the left by n/2 character positions. This value normally is used
   to adapt .CENTER to a new setting specified by the .RIGHT MARGIN
   command.
 

text

   The text you want to center. You must enter this text on one
   line.
