I've done this to get a screen heading centered in a field on the top line and it basically does involve using text manipulation. I'm writing this at home so I dont have the exact code but it uses LEN to get the string length, subtracts this from the field length and then LPADs the string with spaces (if I remember correctly). If it helps, I can get the exact code and post it although I would love to see a better solution
