FAQ
Why does nothing seem to change after I tap an alignment button?
- Check whether the cursor is inside the target paragraph or whether the correct paragraphs are selected.
- Make sure the document is in an editable state.
- Try a more obvious change, such as switching from left align to center, and then review the page again.
Does alignment apply to selected text or to the whole paragraph?
- Alignment is a paragraph formatting feature.
- When the cursor is inside one paragraph, the setting applies to that paragraph.
- When multiple paragraphs are selected, the setting applies to all of those paragraphs.
What is the difference between justify and left align?
- Left align keeps the left edge of the paragraph even while the right edge wraps naturally.
- Justify tries to keep both the left and right edges of the paragraph even.
- In many body-text layouts, justify can make the page look more uniform.
Why do multiple paragraphs change when I only edit one place?
- Check whether multiple paragraphs were selected before you changed the alignment.
- If the current selection covers several paragraphs, the alignment setting applies to all of them.
- If you only want to change one paragraph, place the cursor inside that paragraph only and try again.
