How-to Guide

1. Left Align

Entry point: Home → Left Align

  1. Select the paragraph you want to format, or place the cursor inside the target paragraph.
  2. Click Left Align on the Home tab.

Success Criteria

  • The left edge of the paragraph lines up with the left text boundary.
  • New text continues in left alignment.

Tips While Using

  • Alignment is applied at the paragraph level, so confirm the cursor position first.
  • If multiple paragraphs are selected, the setting is applied to all selected paragraphs.

2. Center Align

Entry point: Home → Center Align

  1. Select the paragraph you want to format, or place the cursor inside the target paragraph.
  2. Click Center Align on the Home tab.

Success Criteria

  • The paragraph appears in the middle of the available line width.
  • A title or short line looks visually centered.

Tips While Using

  • Center alignment is more suitable for titles, cover text, or short paragraphs.
  • Indentation settings can also affect the final visual position.

3. Right Align

Entry point: Home → Right Align

  1. Select the paragraph you want to format, or place the cursor inside the target paragraph.
  2. Click Right Align on the Home tab.

Success Criteria

  • The right edge of the paragraph lines up with the right text boundary.
  • The paragraph is suitable for signatures, dates, or closing text.

Tips While Using

  • Right alignment is usually better for local information than for long body text.
  • The effect is more obvious when the paragraph is short.

4. Justify

Entry point: Home → Justify

  1. Select the paragraph you want to format, or place the cursor inside the target paragraph.
  2. Click Justify on the Home tab.

Success Criteria

  • The paragraph looks cleaner on both the left and right edges.
  • Continuous body text appears more even on the page.

Tips While Using

  • Justify adjusts spacing between words or characters to fit both sides.
  • The last line is usually not stretched to fill the full width.

5. Distributed Align

Entry point: Home → Distributed Align

  1. Select the paragraph you want to format, or place the cursor inside the target paragraph.
  2. Click Distributed Align on the Home tab.

Success Criteria

  • Characters in the paragraph are spread across the full line width.
  • The result fits special layouts or text that needs a more even line fill.

Tips While Using

  • Distributed alignment is more suitable for short lines, titles, or specific layout needs.
  • On long body text, spacing changes may look more noticeable.

6. Set Alignment from the Floating Toolbar

Entry point: Select text → Floating Toolbar → Alignment

  1. Select the text content you want to adjust.
  2. Click Alignment on the floating toolbar.
  3. Choose the alignment option you need.

Success Criteria

  • The paragraph containing the selected text changes to the chosen alignment.
  • You can finish the change without returning to the fixed toolbar.

Tips While Using

  • The floating toolbar is useful for quick local edits.
  • If no text is selected first, the floating toolbar may not appear.
