80 Structuring Paragraphs Formatting Documents
Figure 81
The Paragraph palette with Indents selected
All of the indent controls are also available from the menu Format > Paragraph Indents. However,
they use preset amounts to increase and decrease the indents. You can have better control using
the Paragraph palette, or manipulating the ruler directly.
Justify “align” text
Use the Paragraph palette in the Tooldrawer to set paragraph justification and specify how lines in a
paragraph line up based on the left and right line wrap indicators. The choices are left, center, right,
and full justification. Fully justified type causes uneven word spacing with even line widths, while
unjustified (or “ragged”) type causes even word spacing with uneven line widths. You can also
access these commands by choosing them from the menu Format > Paragraph Alignment.
