To set justification using the Type palette 1 Depending on how you want the justification settings to apply, do one of the following: •   To change existing text, select the paragraphs or text objects. To set justification for only one paragraph, place the insertion point anywhere in the paragraph. •   To set the justification before a new paragraph, place the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. •   To apply justification settings to the preset format, deselect all objects. 2 If necessary, open the Type palette by choosing Text > Type, and click the Paragraph tab to bring it to the front. 3 Click a Justification button. 4 Click apply to implement the justification setting. Using vertical justification Canvas can align text relative to the top and bottom borders of text objects. Canvas has four vertical justification, or alignment, settings: Top, Bottom, Vertical Full, and Vertical Center. Vertical justification applies to an entire text object. To change the setting, select one or more text objects. Choose Text > Justification and choose a vertical justification setting in the submenu. A check- mark appears next to the selected setting. Note: There must be space in the text object to use vertical justifica- tion, not including space created by empty paragraphs. The text objects must therefore be created with the Text Object tool, not the Text tool. Top vertical justification is the default setting for new text objects. Copying or duplicating text objects preserves their vertical justifica- tion settings. However, if you copy a text selection and paste it into another object, the text follows the vertical justification of the text object in which you paste it.
