Justifying text

You can change the justification of the text that appears within text boxes to change the way it appears in a border. You can justify text in three ways horizontally - left, centre and right - and in three ways vertically - top, middle and bottom.

Left-justified text is aligned against the left edge of the text box

Centre-justified text is aligned along the centre of the text box

Right-justified text is aligned against the right edge of the text box

Top-justified text appears at the top of the text box

Middle-justified text appears in the middle of the text box

Bottom-justified text appears at the bottom of the text box

You can only justify entire text boxes; you cannot justify individual lines within multi-line text boxes.

To justify the text within a text box:

  1. Select the text box you want to justify.
  2. Select the Justify command from the Draw menu, then select the Left, Centre or Right command to justify the text horizontally, or select the Top, Middle or Bottom command to justify the text vertically. You can select any combination of horizontal and vertical justification.

The text is justified accordingly.
