FAQ
What is the difference between justified alignment and distributed alignment?
- Justified alignment makes both sides of the paragraph line up with the margins.
- With justified alignment, the last line usually keeps its normal ending instead of being stretched across the full width.
- Distributed alignment spreads characters more evenly across the line and is useful for some Chinese headings or short lines.
Which alignment option is usually suitable for titles?
- Start by checking the document type and layout style.
- In many cases, the main title is better suited to center alignment.
- For notices, forms, or specific templates, left or distributed alignment may also be appropriate.
Why does centered text still not look fully centered?
- Check whether you selected only part of the text instead of the full target paragraph.
- Open the Paragraph dialog box and review left indent, right indent, or special indent settings.
- Adjust the indentation values if needed, then apply center alignment again.
