Alignment is also set using either the toolbar or the Ruler section of the Style dialogue box. Justification is the alignment of text with the margins.
Justification options
There are four justification options:
Left justified: text flush against the left margin with a ragged right edge
Right justified: text flush against the right margin with a ragged left edge
Fully justified: text that is flush against both margins
Centred: text is placed so that its centre is on a point halfway between the two margins; both edges will appear ragged
Choosing an alignment option
To turn justification on in a style:
Display the ruler section of the Style dialogue box.
Click on the Justification switch so that it is on.
Click on the icon representing the justification option you want to use.
Using the toolbar to set alignment
Setting an alignment by clicking on a button in the toolbar will not change the style but set an effect; either on all paragraphs in the selection, or on just the paragraph containing the caret if there is no selection.
