Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57223
Writer needs a simple Flush-Right and Center command
Last modified: 2014-03-23 12:22:09 UTC
Writer has lots of good formatting features, but two very simple yet awesomely powerful commands have not found their way into 2.0 (and even though a workaround exists, one of these features can be seen as a regression from 1.x). Flush Right: anything from this code onwards until the next line break is aligned to the right margin. Center: anything from this code onwards until the next line break is aligned to the center of the page. The beauty of these *line* formatting commands lies in the ability to combine these commands on one single line. This leads to the possibility of having part of the same line aligned left, then a part centered, and another to the right. WP is able to this since at least version 5 (DOS!) with no other word processer ever having implemented this feature in such a simple manner. I will attach a sample.

In response to the Bug-squash: Beta 3.0 still does not have a simple Flush-Right command. I won't even mention Reveal-Codes. IMHO both still reasons to stick to WP.
