Text starts out positioned evenly along the left margin, and uneven , or ragged , at the right margin. Left-aligned text works well for body paragraphs in most cases, but other alignments vary the look of a message and help lead the reader through the text. Right-aligned text , which is even along the right margin and ragged at the left margin, is good for adding a date to a letter. Justified text spreads text evenly between the margins, creating a clean, professional look, often used in newspapers and magazines. Centered text is best for titles and headings. You can use Click-And-Type to quickly center titles or set different text alignment on the same line, or you can use the alignment buttons on the Standard toolbar to set alignment on one or more lines.
