You just go to the center (you measured it), then backspace once for every two characters or spaces....

But it sure didn't look like the type on the letters in question.

I believe that this is going to be shown to prove to a lot more folks that CBS is on the Kerry payroll (so to speak). I'm hoping that there is a major backlash from this.

I tried this. I counted 34 characters in the line
111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron

That puts the center between characters 17 and 18, if monospaced. ("t" and "e")
Then I counted 14 characters in the line
P.O. Box 34567

That puts the center between characters 7 and 8 ("o" and "x").

Draw a line between "t" and "e" on the first line, and between "o" and "x" on the second. The lines don't meet.

Yeah right.

You're going to EXACTLY CENTER the top line (in proportional font in Capital letters on a very expensive typesetting machine of a memo you're writing to yourself that nobody else will ever see!) and then you're going to "carriage return" and go to the second line of that memo, EXACTLY CENTER IT and then backspace up the EXACT NUMBER of "points" (calculating those "points" in your proportional fonts (before there were calculators even!) to start the second line, then "carefully" space the entire second line to EXACTLY CENTER IT below the first, then carriage return to the third line of your header, and count the letters in the third line of your header, and c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y calculate the starting points in "points" for the third line to EXACTLY MATCH the center of the first and second lines, and EXACTLY back up to the EXACCT place to start typing the third line of your "header"
