Specifying alignment options


    Alignment controls how lines of type are arranged in paragraphs. Each paragraph (or line in point type) can be aligned left, right, centered, or justified.

    Justify All Lines justifies all the type and forces the last line in a paragraph to be justified to both margins. By default, the last line of a justified paragraph is left aligned with a ragged right margin.

To change alignment options from the Paragraph palette:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Select any type container or type path using a selection tool.
    • Set an insertion point or select a block of type using the type tools.
  2. In the Paragraph palette, click the alignment style you want.
