In analogy to \framedtext after a define of a framedtext I expect that that you should use \CenteredText{...} And indeed. \defineframedtext[CenteredText][width=fit] % This one fails! \startalignment[center] \dontleavehmode \CenteredText{ \startlines The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \stoplines} %\stopCenteredText Willi On Jan 24, 2009, at 3:30 PM, Bart C.
