Common questions about Alignment Method usually involve alignment differences, display results, and collaboration limits; this section includes 3 FAQs and a short glossary.
FAQ
What is the difference between Justify and Distributed alignment?
- Justify adjusts spacing so the left and right edges look more even.
- Distributed spreads content more broadly so it fills the available width as much as possible.
- If you want a more natural text layout, check Justify first; if you want a more evenly spread result, try Distributed next.
Why does text still not look centered after I set center alignment?
- Check whether the cell has indentation applied.
- Check whether the cell width and row height are large enough to show the centered result clearly.
- If the result is still unclear, open the Text tab in Format Cells and adjust the settings further.
Why can’t I change alignment in collaboration mode?
- Confirm that the current range is editable.
- Check whether there is an editing lock or range permission limit.
- In a shared editing scenario, confirm with the current editor before changing the format.
