[Guest]

How do I position text, or a word, in the middle of a horizontal line?
Specifically a line that would cut right through the middle of a word if it
kept going, but it breaks for the word. Kind of like this example:

-------------- Hello -------------

But without the dashes. I need a solid line. Thanks for your help.

You could set up a centre aligned tab and one on the right margin with
leaders and then to get the line at mid-height of the word, use and
{Advance} field.

Sorry I'm kind of new, but I don't know how to set up a centre aligned tab,
don't know what leaders are, and don't know what {Advance} field means. If
it's not too much trouble, could you expand on your previous email. Thanks
for your response.
