How is your example centered?
</div>


<div>
That's not centered, that's left aligned with a margin. It's on the Page layout tab.<br />
Paragraph-&gt;Indentation-&gt;Le<wbr />ft, and there put the margin you want.<br />
<br />

<div>
If I use a margin, &nbsp;then if I add more text to one of the lines, it wont adjust and recenter. Actually, it should center based on the longest line, while at the same time making sure that all lines start at the same position. A bit hard to explain;)
</div>


<div>
Sorry have no idea what you mean - text is centered or it is left / right aligned or justified.<br />
<br />
Not sure what you are asking for.
</div>


<div>
So... let's use a drawing:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41339707-1">centered:
___|||||||___
_____|||_____

left aligned:
__|||||||__
__|||______

right aligned:
__|||||||__
______|||__</code></pre>
Which of these do you want?
</div>


<div>
Are you asking how to center a div within a div where the content is left aligned?<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41339787-1">+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +
|        + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +          |             
|        | This is the first line            |          |
|        | This is the next line             |          |
|        + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +          |
+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +</code></pre>
</div>

In Word, use a text box. Put it wherever you want on the page, and use left aligned text in it.<br />
<br />
@greg: great mind reading!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I find all kinds of examples centering text, but I can't seem to figure out how to center mulitline text like this: <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This is the first line<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This is the second line<br />

Both lines begin at the same point. This might be an easy one, but I'm stuck.

That&#39;s not centered, that&#39;s left aligned with a margin. It&#39;s on the Page layout tab.
Paragraph-&gt;Indentation-&gt;Left, and there put the margin you want.

CSS Center Multiline Text, with all beginning on the same vertical line

I find all kinds of examples centering text, but I can&#39;t seem to figure out how to center mulitline text like this: 

                 This is the first line
                 This is the second line

Both lines begin at the same point. This might be an easy one, but I&#39;m stuck.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
