You can use Word’s alignment commands to change how text and objects are positioned horizontally
on a page. By default, Word left-aligns text and objects. You can also choose to center text and
objects on a page (using the Center command), align text and objects to the right side of the page
(using the Right Align command), or justify text and objects so that they line up at both the left and
right margins of the page (using the Justify command). You can change the alignment of all the text
and objects in your document or change the alignment of individual paragraphs and objects.
1 Click anywhere in the paragraph
that you want to align or select the
paragraphs and objects that you
want to align.
