To Center Text in Wikispaces
Make sure the cursor is where you want to start centering text. On the Wikispaces toolbar is a little icon that looks like a TV...when you roll over it it says "Embed Widget." When you click on that icon a dialog box gives you lots of options of stuff to embed (including video and audio clips for those of you interested in using them) the final item on the horizontal menu is "Other HTML." When you select "Other HTML" a text box comes up for you to enter HTML. The HTML for telling Wikispaces to center text is:

 document.write(' ')

Just copy it and paste it in the box, then click "Save." A gray box that says "Media" will appear on the wiki page. When you save the page the centered text will be visible, but not the gray "Media" box.

Once you've told Wikispaces to where to start centering text you need to tell it where to stop. Go to the end of the text you want centered and again click the "Embed Widget" icon and then the "Other HTML" option. When the text box is available enter:

 document.write(' ')

The only difference is the little slashy in front of the word "center." Again when you save this HTML you'll see a gray "Media" box.
