Q: 

TinyMCE issue where all text is getting centered if user centers top line

I have a website where i embed tiny mce to allow the users to edit the main content on the site.

The issue is that if a users highlights the top row and clicks center button, the text alignment for the entire document (multiple paragraphs) all get centered.

has anyone seen this or have any suggestions?

+1  A: 

Are you sure the paragraphs are truly multiple paragraphs (i.e. <P> tags in the source and not simply two line-breaks (i.e. <br />) tags?

If that is the case then it is simply a matter of training your users to push Enter rather than Shift + Enter

what is wrong with having 2 line breaks versus paragraphs. if you have line breaks, does that cause tinymce to not work ?

A p tag is the semantically correct way of forming a paragraph, a linebreak (br tag) is for breaking into a new line within a paragraph. So the tinyMCE editor is applying the centre command to the block you are in, i.e. the paragraph, heading etc...
