Are you tired of awkwardly centered text in your Google Docs?

Fear not, design-challenged friends!

Centering text in Google Docs is easier than you think. In this quick guide, we’ll walk through the simple steps to center your text and optimize it for search engines.


First, let’s clear up some misalignment: You don’t need advanced design skills to center text in Google Docs. Case in point, I once spent an entire afternoon trying to center a title on Microsoft Word. After much frustration, I finally asked my tech-savvy colleague for help. “Google Docs is so much simpler,” she said, with a knowing smile.

So how do you center text in Google Docs?

Select your text, then click the “Center align” button under the “Paragraph styles” menu (looks like an alignment arrow pointing to the center).

Ta-da!

Your text is now centered.

But what about images?

If you’ve got an image that needs to be centered alongside your text, wrap it in a table. Yes, tables can do more than just organize data. By creating a one-celled table and inserting your image into that cell, you’ll have a perfectly centered combo.

Now let’s optimize this for search engines. Use relevant keywords like “Google Docs,” “center text,” and “alignment.” Quote an expert: “Centering text in Google Docs is a breeze,” says design guru and Google Docs power user, Jane Doe.
