How-to Guide
1. Set left alignment
Entry: Tools → Home → Paragraph

- Place the cursor in the target paragraph, or select multiple paragraphs that you want to adjust.
- Tap Tools.
- Tap the Home tab.
- In the Paragraph area, tap Align Left.
Success Criteria

- What you can do next: You can continue typing, change other formatting, or save the document.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If you do not place the cursor or select the paragraph first, the change may not apply to the intended content.
- Environment note: You need to open an editable document before you can see the paragraph formatting result.
2. Set center, right, or justified alignment
Entry: Tools → Home → Paragraph
- Open the document and place the cursor in the target paragraph, or select multiple paragraphs.
- Tap Tools, then open the Home tab.
- In the Paragraph area, choose Center, Align Right, or Justify as needed.
- Check the paragraph layout on the page and confirm that it matches your formatting needs.
Success Criteria

- What you can do next: You can switch to another alignment option to compare and fine-tune the layout.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Titles, body text, and signature blocks often need different alignment styles, so it helps to confirm the document purpose first.
- Environment note: Justified alignment is usually more suitable for longer body paragraphs, and the effect may be less visible in short lines.
3. Use the distributed alignment entry
Entry: Tools → Home → Paragraph
- Open the document and select the paragraph that needs a special layout.
- Tap Tools and open the Home tab.
- In the Paragraph area, find the Distributed Alignment entry.
- Tap it and review the character distribution effect to see whether it fits the paragraph layout.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The selected paragraph shows a distributed alignment effect with changed character spacing across the line.
- What you can do next: If the result does not fit, switch back to left, center, right, or justified alignment.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Distributed alignment is more suitable for specific layouts and may not fit all body text.
- Environment note: The visual result can vary with paragraph length, so it is helpful to test it on a small section first.
