Kern Choose commands from the Kern menu to cause selected text to be squeezed
closer or spread further apart. Kerning affects the space to the right of the
character(s) selected.

other baseline attribute has been added i.e. based on a style defined
in Style Sheet view).

attribute).

not part of that paragraph’s Style Sheet.
▸ Align Left Aligns text along the left edge of the line wrap area.
▸ Align Right Aligns text along the right edge of the line wrap area.
▸ Align Center Centers text around an invisible line between the left and right line
wrap indicators.
▸ Align Justify Spreads text “evenly” between the left and right line wrap indicators
so that it touches both sides.
▸ Natural Writing Direction
Causes text to flow in the “natural” direction for the language
associated with the text.
Text direction is a function of the language selected. Each language
has a “natural” direction of its own. You can override this direction
of a paragraph within a section of text designated as being in a
particular language (and therefore flowing in a particular direction)
by using this and the following controls.
▸ Left to Right Direction Causes the primary direction of the paragraph to flow from left to
right.
▸ Right to Left Direction Causes the primary direction of the paragraph to flow from right to
left.
▸ Prevent Widows & Orphans
Causes the text of the first and last lines of a paragraph to appear
with at least one other line of that paragraph if it would otherwise
appear on a page or column by itself. This command only displays
its effects in Page View.
▸ Keep Paragraph Together
This causes the selected paragraph to appear on one page, moving
the entire text of the paragraph to the following page, if as much as
one line of it must display on that page. This command only
displays its effects in Page View.
▸ Keep With Next Paragraph
Causes the selected paragraph to stay with the succeeding
paragraph (if that paragraph must move to the following page). This
command only displays its effects in Page View.
▸ Prevent Hyphenation Disables hyphenation on a per-paragraph basis. It cannot override
the View menu to turn hyphenation on for a single paragraph, but
can override the View menu to turn hyphenation off for a
paragraph.
▸ Show Paragraph Borders Palette
Opens the Paragraph Borders palette so you can add and modify
borders of selected paragraphs.
