Justify “align” text
Use the Paragraph palette in the Tooldrawer to set paragraph justification and specify how lines in a
paragraph line up based on the left and right line wrap indicators. The choices are left, center, right,
and full justification. Fully justified type causes uneven word spacing with even line widths, while
unjustified (or “ragged”) type causes even word spacing with uneven line widths. You can also
access these commands by choosing them from the Paragraph Alignment submenu of the Format
menu.
