I had nightmares about CSS. :-))
OK, I came up with the following 'solution' that does what I want, a
centered line of two single words--one to the left and one to the right,
but it seems terribly clumsy. Can it be simplified?
<div style=" margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 300px;
text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left; width: 40%; float:
left;">Test1</div><div style="text-align: right;"><div
style="text-align:right; width:40%;">Test2</div></div></div>
