Center Text on Org Charts

Is there a way to center the text contained in my org charts?

There is no way to simply use a "center" alighment type thing. However, you can simulate that by adjusting what you display. I've found that if I calculate the length of the string I want to display, and subtract that from 30, I can prefix the string with half that difference using the ascii character 160, just like a space. 

Repeat(chr(160), Floor((30-Len(Centre_Name))/2)) & Centre_Name

In the image notice what just displaying Centre_Name shows, versus what it looks like with the prefix.

**** NOTE: Notice how the field values aren't sorted because I just used the default sort order. So be sure to apply a sort expression to use the regular field value itself rather than letting it sort on the expression that prefixes the display.
