Text Alignments Flashcards
Left aligned
This is the default setting when you create a new document. Left aligned text begins each line along the left margine on the document. The first word that does not fit on a line is placed at the left margine on the next line. This results in a straight margin on the left and a jagged margine on the rfight
Right aligned
This setting aligns the beginning of each line of text along the right margin of the document. These result is neat on the right side and jagged on the left. This is used normally to display company name and address near the top of a business document
Centred
This alignment places text in the centre of each line. As you type the text expands equally from left to right, leaving the same margin on both sides. When you start a new line the cursor begins in the center which is where the new line begins. Centered text is often used for document titles and may be used for headers and footers
Justified
This format combines left and right aligned text. When a block of text is justified each line fills the entire space from left to right. The result is a straight margin on both sides. This is used in newspapers, magazines and on the internet
