Thanks Alan and Peter, Really appreciate your replies. Will try this out tomorrow and see if I can get it to work.
I keep googling things myself...but with my 'beginner' status sometimes struggle to understand the solutions out there....but in tiny steps am making progress! Certainly know a lot more than when I started 4 weeks ago! Thank you so much for your support and time replying....it is very encouraging. - Matthew Polack Matthew Polack | Teacher [image: Emailbanner3.png] Trinity Drive | PO Box 822 Horsham Victoria 3402 p. 03 5382 2529 m. 0402456854 e. matthew.pol...@htlc.vic.edu.au w. www.htlc.vic.edu.au On Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 8:10 PM, Alan Gauld via Tutor <tutor@python.org> wrote: > On 15/08/18 10:18, Peter Otten wrote: > > Matthew Polack wrote: > > > >> *Question 2:* > >> Is there a way to centre text within the text frame?
