Page Layout ⇒ Centering sections

[adarpodracir]

Hi.

I am using article as document class to write a paper. But I need to put the sections at the center of the page. Is there any package/way to do that? Thank you!

This question is not very clear, since no minimal work example is provided..

I can think of two scenarios. First, you have the following stated in your preamble:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside]{article}

If you remove the 'twoside' option, every page will be the same and you text will be pretty much centered.

The other scenario is that you'd like to recreate a Word document:

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\centering
Random text here..
\end{document}

Assumed that you mean section headings, you can do that very easy by the titlesec package. Details in the package manual.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[bf,sf]{titlesec}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\Large\bfseries\filcenter}{\thesection}{1em}{}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

The blindtext package is only for creating dummy text thus not part of the solution.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Dear Frits. Sorry not to be clear. I don't know the latex's terminology yet. But thank you very much for your kind of help!

Dear localghost. Thank you very much. That was exactly what I was looking for!
