Like the earlier \centering, etc., paragraph styledeclarations, the style that applies is the one in effect at the end of the paragraph. Thus thegeneral usage is:\bgroup% a group to keep changes local % or could be { or \begin...\paragraphstyle.... text\par% ensure the end of a paragraph\egroup% end the group % or could be } or \end...If you use one of these paragraph shapes then using \\ to break a line may give asurprising result. If so, the following may help.\atcentercr\break\memorigdbs\memorigparYou could try \atcentcr, which is user level version of an internal LaTeX command usedin some paragraph settings for line breaking, or \break, which is a TeX command to enda line.127
