How to Center Text in Notion

To center text in Notion, you can either type the text and add spaces before it to center, or you can select the text, click on the “Turn into” menu, and then choose “Block equation” from the options.

Center Text in Notion by Adding Spaces

Step 1: Enter the text

The first step is to open the Notion page where you want to center-align the text.

Next, type the text that you want to center align.

Step 2: Place the cursor before the text

After entering the text, place the cursor before the text.

You can do this by either clicking at the beginning of the text to bring the cursor there or using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Step 3: Press the Spacebar until the text is centered

Now, press the Spacebar on your keyboard multiple times to align the text in the center.

Use the Backspace key to delete a space if needed.

Center Text in Notion Using Block Equation

Step 1: Enter the text

You can also center the text in Notion using Block Equation.

To begin, enter the text that you want to center align and then proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Select the text

After typing the text, select it with the mouse to indicate to Notion that you want to work on that specific text.

Step 3: Click on the “Turn into” menu

After choosing the text, a small toolbar will appear above it, providing different tools and functions.

Click on the “Turn into” menu.

In this situation, I wanted to center align the heading, so the “Heading 1” option was automatically chosen in the “Turn into” menu.

You might encounter similar options like heading or text.

Step 4: Select “Block equation”

Once you click on the “Turn into” menu, a list of options will be displayed.

From this list, choose the “Block equation” option.

Your text will now be aligned to the center.

Proceed to the next step where I will teach you how to change the size of this text.

Step 5: Adjust the size of the text

By selecting the text and choosing the “Block equation” option, you can center-align the text and set it to a medium font size.

There are two font sizes to choose from: medium and huge.

To increase the font size, simply click on the center-aligned text.

A small panel will appear where you can enter the equation.

Type \huge before the text, ensure that there is a space between the command and the text, and then press the Enter key.
