Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between Justify and Distributed alignment?

  • Solution: Justify keeps the last line left-aligned, while Distributed aligns all lines (including the last line) on both left and right.

Q2: What alignment should be used for titles?

  • Solution: Titles typically use center alignment to display the title centered on the page.

Q3: Why is the text not centered after setting center alignment?

  • Solution: Check if the paragraph has indentation; indentation can affect the alignment effect. You can set the indentation to 0.

  1. Alignment is a paragraph-level setting and affects the entire paragraph
