Microsoft Word alignment explained

The primary text alignment options in Microsoft Word 2019 :-

1.  Left Alignment :- Text is aligned along the left margin, creating a straight edge on the right side. This is the default alignment for most documents, as it's the most natural alignment for readers of left-to-right languages like English.

2.  Center Alignment :- Text is centered between the left and right margins of the document. Center alignment is often used for titles, headings, or other elements you want to draw attention to.

3.  Right Alignment :- Text is aligned along the right margin, creating a straight edge on the left side. Right alignment is sometimes used for special formatting purposes or when dealing with right-to-left languages like Arabic or Hebrew.

4.  Justified Alignment :- In justified alignment, text is aligned along both the left and right margins, creating a straight edge on both sides. This alignment option automatically adjusts the spacing between words and characters to make the text fit within the margins. It's often used for professional-looking documents like reports and formal essays.

    You can change the alignment of text in your Word document by selecting the text you want to modify and using the alignment options in the "Paragraph" group on the Home tab of the Ribbon. These options include buttons for left, center, right, justified, and distributed alignment. Simply click on the desired alignment button to apply it to the selected text.

    Remember that the alignment options can be applied to the entire paragraph or individual lines, depending on how you select the text. You can also use these alignment options in combination to create different effects within a single document or paragraph.
