Dear Stefan, TF, Charles & Suzanne,
My heartfelt thanks to you all for your advice, Comments, & observations
they are all of intrest for many reasons ( Information, observation, fun &
home truths!)
:-) I thank you one and all. But As I said in an earlier post after
following all the rules and tutorials on header & footers and setting tabs I
still found myself with the problem of the mysterious moving of my text
within the header/footer. After inserting my name and candidate # (Centre
Aligned) I had to insert the file name (right aligned) and low and behold the
centre insertion moved right as well! I followed all the rules in the
header/footer tutorial and the rules on setting Tabs but it made no
difference!! I think I will try the Table insertion Idea and see how that
works, The other disadvantage I was at was that I was using an obsolete (well
to me anyway) operating system which I had never used before and that was
Windows 95!( I had to resit part 1 of my exam at a different centre) I am
more than sure I will be back asking you more questions on this subject or
letting you all know if I've managed to solve my mysterious little problem,
I sit part 2 of my Clait Plus exam on Tue 8th of Feb and will let you all
know how it went .
Thanks once again for all your patience, advice & observations they are all
very much appreciated,
Kindest Regards to you all,
Alasdair.
