Problem with Quick Parts Formatting

[BobbyB]

I keep saving a block of text as a quick part and when I select it in
new document the alignment is changed.

The alignment I'm saving it as has title that is center aligned and the
a block of text below that is aligned left.

Every time that I select it the whole thing is center-aligned. I kee
re-saving the quick part the way I want but as soon as I try to selec
it in a doc the whole thing is center aligned again.

I exit out of word every time and save the "building block" file. I'v
also gone in to building blocks and deleted the quick part several time
to start fresh.

Any help would be appreciated. Could this be a template issue. I hav
other quick parts that don't seem to be affected?

Help please

Recreate the Quick Part. Make sure that each paragraph has the desired
formatting (by adding formatting directly to the paragraphs or by creating
specific paragraph styles for the purpose). Also, make sure to select whole
paragraphs (up to and including the paragraph mark) when recreating the entry.
That should preserve paragraph formatting correctly.

To show/hide paragraph marks (¶), as well as other nonprinting marks, click the
¶ button on the Home tab.

Unfortunately, they didn't work. It seems like it's defaulting to som
underlying template or something. I've tried changing the normal.dot
file. I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions would be greatl
appreciated.

Hi,

I keep saving a block of text as a quick part
and when I select it in a new document the
alignment is changed.

which version of Word do you use? Please describe - step by step - the
way, how you format, how you save the quick part.

Are you saying that your modifications aren't being saved?
