Dear Experts,

The subject pretty much says it all.  The paper I'm writing must conform to
a strict style which happens to differ greatly from what LaTeX easily
produces.  To help me get what I need, I've defined a new section command
that: a) centers the section heading, b) renders it in bold-normal size,
and c) gives me back paragraph indent on the following text.  Unfortunately
the resulting indentation is larger than what occurs normally.  Is there a
better way to restore paragraph indent after new sections?

\newcommand{\newsec}[1]{\section*{\normalsize
 \bf \null \hfill #1 \hfill \null} \mbox{} \indent}

Thanks!
