First, I would suggest centering a line of the file with [ENTER with C], 
[CONTROL with e], and then pressing [SPACE with dots 1-5-6], [READ with Q] to 
see how many columns to the right your text is moved (the command will give you 
a page-line-column reading of the cursor, so you would focus on the column 
reading).  Then, hit BACKSPACE to delete the Center Line indicator (which will 
revert your line to column 1),, move to the top of the document with [SPACE 
with dots 1-2-3], [READ with T], and enter the Document Layout List with 
[BACKSPACE with L], [CONTROL with L].  Set the first two options, "Indent First 
Line of Paragraph" and "Indent Rest of Paragraph" to reflect the number of 
columns which the Center command moves your text to the right.  Then, exit the 
list with [SPACE with E], [ESCAPE], and type Y at the prompt to confirm 
changes.  Note that those changes in the Layout List will apply to your current 
document only.  Now, to prove to yourself that your text has been centered, as 
you move to the start of each line with [SPACE with dots 4-5], [READ with 
ENTER], and then press [SPACE with dots 1-5-6], [READ with Q], you should see 
that the column number for the start of each line should reflect that it is 
centered.

Note that, for these formatting changes to retain, the document must be a 
KeyWord type document.  Also, if you're working in a KeyWord Braille document 
but want these changes to take effect when the document's printed or saved into 
a text form, make your changes in the Ink-Print Layout List, which you enter by 
pressing [ENTER with BACKSPACE with L], [READ with CONTROL with L], as opposed 
to using the Document Layout List.

HTH,
Maria
