Pro Tips for Centering Text in Notion

1. Use a Quote Block or Callout as a Container
   Create a Quote or Callout block to act as a container. These blocks make it easier to isolate and style the text you want to center.

2. Convert to a Page or Toggle and Use Full-Width
   Turn the block into a full-width page or toggle list. Click the three-dot menu at the top right and enable “Full width” to allow more layout flexibility.

3. Use a Divider for Visual Balance
   Add a Divider above and below the text to create visual framing. This gives a sense of centered alignment even without precise controls.

4. Utilize Columns for Manual Centering
   Create a three-column layout and place your text in the center column. Leave the left and right columns empty or with spacer elements to visually center the content.

5. Use Third-Party Formatting Tools
   If you need pixel-perfect centering, use tools like Notion VIP’s Notion Enhancer or embed formatted text from tools like HTML generators or widgets.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Assuming Text Centering Is Native in Notion
   Notion doesn’t currently support true text-align center functionality. You’ll need to use workarounds like columns or centered blocks.

2. Ignoring the Importance of Visual Framing
   Centered text without any visual framing (dividers or columns) can still appear off-balance. Always combine alignment with surrounding structure.

3. Forgetting to Enable Full Width
   If you're using a narrow page layout, your centering efforts may not look effective. Always enable “Full width” for better layout control.

4. Overusing Quote Blocks
   Relying too heavily on quote blocks for centering can make your page look repetitive. Use sparingly and mix in toggles or callouts for variety.

5. Misaligning Columns
   Uneven column widths or inconsistent spacing can ruin the centered effect. Make sure the side columns are equally spaced or blank for proper balance.
