Text Formatting ⇒ Centering a section of text

[thedoctor818]

I am trying to center a section of text. I have successfully done this earlier in my text using the following:

\begin{center}
\section*{text}
\end{center}

The prob is that when I try to apply this successively, later on in the same text using the same method, it fails. I get the following error: Somethings wrong - perhaps a missing \item.

Any help would be appreciated, as I am fairly new at using tex.

Hi,

I would not use a center environment around \section. Have a look at this topic, your problem was discussed there. Try \centering, concerning centered section titles have a look at the titlesec example further in that topic.
