When using WPS Alignment Method, 3 common issue types come up most often: unavailable buttons, alignment scope, and multi-paragraph formatting; this section answers 3 common questions.
FAQ
What should I do if the alignment buttons are grayed out?
- Make sure the file is open in WPS PDF.
- Make sure you have entered Text Edit mode.
- Select the text you want to adjust, then check whether the alignment buttons are available.
- If the buttons are still unavailable, check whether your account has PDF editing membership access.
What is the difference between paragraph alignment and moving a text box?
- Paragraph alignment changes how text is distributed within the current layout area.
- Moving a text box changes the position of an object on the page.
- If you want text to be left-aligned, centered, right-aligned, or justified, use the alignment feature.
- If you want to move an object, use the relevant object or layout tools instead.
How can I quickly apply the same alignment to multiple paragraphs?
- In Text Edit mode, select the multiple paragraphs that need the same formatting.
- Use the alignment buttons on the toolbar, or open Alignment from the right-click menu.
- Choose the target alignment and check whether all selected paragraphs update together.
- Save the file so the current layout changes are preserved.
