CHANGING TEXT ALIGNMENT

Alignment refers to the positioning of the text on a page. It is always better to set the
alignment before typing. You can also select an entire document and then change the
alignment of the text.

Word provides four types of alignments, which are as follows:

• Align Left pic- : It places the selected text towards the left margin. By default, the text
is aligned to the left margin.
• Center pic- : It sets the text in the center of the left and right margins. This alignment is
mostly used for titles / headings.

• Align Right pic- : This aligns the selected text towards the right margin. It is often
used for placing dates or reference numbers in a document.

:
• Justify pic- It places the text evenly between the left and the right margins. It is
mainly used for designing books, magazines, and newspapers.

To align the text, follow these steps:

1. Select the text. Click on any desired alignment button in the Paragraph group on the Home
tab.
2. Observe the change in the text alignment.
