About This Feature
Overview
Text Alignment is a built-in paragraph-formatting feature in WPS Office for iOS. It is used to adjust how a paragraph is arranged horizontally on the page.
Core tasks include:
- Set left alignment for standard body text and general document content.
- Set center, right, or justified alignment for titles, signatures, quotations, and other layouts.
- Access the distributed alignment option for paragraphs that need wider character distribution.
It is useful for everyday document editing, quick mobile formatting, and paragraph cleanup after review. It helps you keep paragraph layout consistent on iPhone or iPad and reduce formatting differences across sections. A practical advantage is that common alignment controls are grouped under Tools → Home → Paragraph for quick access.

|---|---|
| Operating system | An iPhone or iPad that can run WPS Office normally |
| App version | The latest version of WPS Office is recommended so the full paragraph tools are available |
