Aligning Text |
Alignment is the horizontal or vertical position of the text within a text block. A paragraph of text can be either left, right, or center aligned, or justified (fully aligned) horizontally and top, middle, bottom, or justified (fully aligned) vertically.
To apply alignment to the text:
1. Double-click a text block, or select it and press Return.
2. Choose Horizontal Alignment from the Text menu, then choose Left, Center, Right, or Full from the submenu to apply the horizontal alignment you want to the paragraph(s) you have selected. You can also use horizontal alignment buttons on the Text palette to change paragraph alignment.
3. Choose Vertical Alignment from the Text menu, then choose Top, Middle, Bottom, or Full from the submenu to apply the vertical alignment you want to the text in a text block. You can also use vertical alignment buttons on the Text palette to change alignment.
NOTE: The last sentence in a paragraph may not be justified horizontally.
