I'm doing a course in Web design and am stuck on an assignment. I just need to know how align text to the left in a centred paragraph. I have centred the paragraph but can't seem to align the text to the left. Thanks

That doesn't make any sense... Don't center the paragraph. -
I mean I want the text left aligned but in the centre of the page sorry for the confusionComment

You mean centered vertically? Centering something vertically does not affect horizontal positioning.Comment
-
I've only just started the course so I'm not sure..All I need to do is change it so the text looks like this
but not like this
Sorry for confusionComment

It's left aligned by default. If you put center tags around it, then take it off.Comment
-
sorry to have wasted your time I cant seem to explain it properly thanks for trying though :/Comment

Ive attached a a picture of what I mean, how would I get the second paragraph to look exactly the same in centre of page please?
I already know the bold and italics just the text is aligned to the left and the paragraph is centred.
If this is any easier for you to understand.
Thank youComment

We would need to see the code.Comment

Code:<html> <center><h1><b>Why was the Internet originally created?</b></h1></center> Internet technology originally evolved <b>in the early 1960's,</b> at the instigation of the US DefenceDepartment, to enable <i>strategic computer networks</i> to remain <br /> operational in the event of one or more nodes being our commission <b><i>during a nuclear war</i></b>. The logic was <i>simple;</i> bombing a system based on an individual <br /> mainframe computer would bring down the whole system but bombing <b> a computer to work</b> would result in only a few nodes being lost, allowing the other node <br /> to route around the damaged nodes. <br /> <br /> <p justify="left">This was achieved by using a methodology know as <b>"packet-switching"</b>, which worked by breaking up a data file into small <i>"packets"</i> and <br /> transmitting them to another location <b>by multiple routes</b> where the packets would be re-assembled back into the original data file and duplicate <br /> packets discarded.</p><br /> <p> In 1969, <b><u> the first packet-switching network </u></b>was originally developed by the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as <b><i> ARP Anet,</i></b> the original<br /> network connected <i> 4 Research establishments,</i> and by 1972 had expanded to incorporate 40 nodes. ARP Anet soon became a forum for the exchange <br /> of information and ideas amongst scientists and academics, and within a few years the number of computers connect to the networks <b><u>increased to more than<br /> 100.</u></b>

Please use code tags when posting code or formatted data.
I saved your code in an HTML file and opened it in a web browser. Looks fine to me.Comment

thanks, what would I need to put to get the second paragraph slightly to the centre?Comment
-
Didn't you just say you wanted to left-align it?Comment
-
I meant the text I wanted it lined up down the left side and the whole paragraph in the middle of the page, so keep the paragraph as it is just over more to the centre. really sorry for confusing youComment

You could use CSS to add a margin or padding to the left side of the p element.Comment
