About This Feature
Overview
Alignment in WPS Office for iOS is a paragraph formatting feature for document editing. It lets you change how a paragraph is arranged horizontally on the page. You can apply left align, center, right align, justify, or distributed alignment to the current paragraph or to multiple selected paragraphs for body text, headings, quotations, signatures, and general layout cleanup.
Core tasks include:
- Set paragraph alignment: switch between common horizontal paragraph layouts.
- Apply one alignment to multiple paragraphs: keep selected paragraphs consistent.
- Choose the right alignment style: match the layout to the document purpose.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports left align, center, right align, justify, and distributed alignment for the current paragraph or multiple selected paragraphs during document editing on iOS. | Word officially supports aligning selected paragraphs left, right, center, or justified. | Google Docs officially provides paragraph formatting and paragraph alignment controls through the toolbar and Format menu. | Notion officially states that it does not currently provide traditional text alignment options for regular text. | Adobe InDesign officially supports Align Left, Align Center, Align Right, Left Justify, Center Justify, Right Justify, and Full Justify in the Paragraph panel or Control panel. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct mobile editing path through Tools → Home → Paragraph and includes distributed alignment in this feature flow. | Compared with WPS: the cited Word page focuses on left, right, center, and justify, and this source does not show distributed alignment. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports paragraph alignment, but the cited page gives a broader formatting overview rather than listing the same set of alignment options in detail. | Compared with WPS: regular text does not have traditional paragraph alignment controls, so it is less suited to conventional paragraph layout work. | Compared with WPS: Adobe offers more layout-oriented alignment controls for professional publishing workflows, while WPS keeps the path shorter for everyday document editing on mobile. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Alignment is well suited to everyday paragraph formatting on iOS, especially when you want a short path to common document layout controls on mobile. For routine document editing, it covers the main alignment needs directly in the app. For publishing-focused desktop layout work, Adobe tools provide a broader set of professional text layout controls.
