- [Instructor] Well just as we can change the look of a document by formatting the text on our page, we can also apply certain attributes to paragraphs, entire paragraphs. That's going to be the focus in this chapter. We're going to begin with alignment, and we're gonna continue working with our Tech Connect document, 0401 if you're catching up. Notice down the left-hand side that all of our text is what we would call flush with the left margin, a nice straight line all the way down the left. As we look down the right side, you can see it's not so flush. There are different spacings along the right-hand margin to give it a certain look and feel. That's all part of the default alignment, but we can make changes by changing paragraph alignment. We don't need to select an entire paragraph. All we have to do is click anywhere in it. For example, the title would be considered its own paragraph because someone hit return at the end of the line, making it a paragraph. So we'll click anywhere in the title Tech Connect. Next we're gonna go up to the ribbon, making sure the Home tab is still selected. And we'll go to the Paragraph group here, where we see a series of alignment buttons. One of them is already selected. It's this one right here, called Align Left. The next one over, as we hover over it, shows us that's to Center Text. Then we have Right Align and then we have something called Justify, also known as full justification. Let's try Center, that often works for titles. See how the entire title is centered? We didn't have to select it. Let's try it again for the headings down below. Click anywhere in the heading and click Center. Again, we'll click anywhere in the next heading and choose Center. So we're using the same style and formatting but changing up the alignment, and that's a different look, kinda more like a newsletter feel. Of course, we can also make changes to an entire paragraph with multiple lines. Let's go down to the next one starting with Visitors at our Red30 Tech campus. Click anywhere in that paragraph, and this might look good centered. We give it a click and realize, no, it doesn't make sense. What about Right Align? Certainly doesn't make sense but you can see how everything is flush down the right margin. We used this earlier creating our memorandum, where we wanted the date on the right margin and everything to move in from that right margin, making it right align. This one, though, might make sense, Justify, or full justification, give that a click. You can see how it's going to create a nice flush feeling down the left-hand side and the right-hand side for every line except the last line in a paragraph. It does that by creating extra spaces in between some of the words. Wouldn't make sense on the last line, it would be too spread out. So we go down to the next paragraph, click in there, and click Justify, we get that same feel. And of course, we can select multiple paragraphs and apply that same change. Let's click from During and drag, so right from the D in During the Give-a-Thon, all the way down to the end of our page, right after that web address. We'll go up to Justify, give it a click. Click in the background to deselect and you can see how it's nice and clean down the left and the right-hand sides to give us a totally different look and feel. With those selections I think we should go back to our title and headings and make all of them left-aligned. Of course, we can select all three. Click and drag from the T in Tech Connect to the end of the D in world, and we'll go back to Left Align, click in the background, and that's how you change alignment for entire paragraphs in your document here in Word 2019.

When text is 'justified' it is arranged so that each linebegins, or ends, right under the other, creating an even, verticaledge to a block of text. Text is almost always left justified. Thatmeans that each line of text begins the same distance in from theleft edge. Text can be right justified as well. Then the amount ofspace between words, and even between letters, is adjusted toensure that each line of text also ends the same distance in fromthe right edge.
The wordjustify comes from the world of typesetting.
In left-to-right-reading languages, the vertical margin on the leftgives a reader's eye the clue as to where to begin reading the nextline.
The right margin can be ragged right or rightjustified.
Ragged right margins are built by the ends of linesterminating with the end of a word or a hyphen, usually within afew characters of the line-ending above it and below it.
Right justified margins are 'forced' into alignment, so thatthe right margin, too, is a vertical margin.
Most right-justified margins produced by editors inexperienced intypesetting standards can result in lines of text that areunaesthetically pleasing and are, in fact, hard for the reader'seye to follow. These forced lines of text can contain too fewcharacters or too many characters, because the software apparentlymakes the decisions about how to honour spaces between words,punctuation and hyphens.
Finally, right-justified margins, such as those you can find inpublished books, are seen when the editor chooses a proportionalspacing type font -- the 'm' character takes up more spacehorizontally than the 'i' character -- and spaces the lines of textfar enough apart from each other -- spacing or leading -- sothat the reader's eye can 'find' the next line.
The word justify on a software program menu represents theprogrammer's effort to deliver a vertical right margin making aseries of logical decisions, when indeed the human editor is betterequipped to make those choices. The word is a short form of rightjustify.
