Can you explain it little bit more..
It's is windows based application or web based?
Are you displaying text using "Label" control?

You have mentioned where the text is written, whether on a label, textbox etc.
If the text is written on a label, to retain the text centered in the form you try the following alternatives.
1. If the label is required at the top or bottom of the form, then the label can be docked to the top or bottom of the form using the Dock property of label.
2. If the label is required at other location, then set the width equal to the form width, and set the Align property to Top or Bottom and Left,Right, so that when the form is resized, the label also gets resized.
In both the cases set the TextAlign property to MiddleCenter to keep the text centered in the label, so that the text is centered in the form too.

You may accept the solution if it solves your problem, or post your queries if any.
