CENTERING TEXT IN MEMO ON THE HP 100LX

You can use the following steps to position a line of text in MEMO so that it will print out centered.

1. 1. Highlight the line of text in MEMO you want to center. (Move the cursor to the beginning of the line, hold down (<Shift>) and press (<RightArrow>) until you've highlighted the desired words.)
2. 2. Press (Fn) (.) to cut the line to the clipboard.
3. 3. Open Lotus 1-2-3 and set the width of column A to the width of the MEMO line (40, 64, or 80). Highlight Cell A1 and press (MENU) Worksheet Column Set-Width. Type in 64 (or whatever width you desire) and press (ENTER).
4. 4. Press (Fn) (+) to Paste the text into Cell A1.
5. 5. Press (F2) to edit the line in A1.
6. 6. Press (Fn) (<LeftArrow>) (DEL) to move the cursor to the beginning of the line and delete the apostrophe (') symbol.
7. 7. Type in the carrot symbol (^) at the beginning of the line and press (ENTER). This centers the line in Cell A1.
8. 8. Press (Fn) (=) (ENTER) to copy the centered text back to the clipboard (you can't cut it out of Lotus).
9. 9. Go back to MEMO and press (Fn) (+) to Paste the centered text back into your document.
