What is justification?
This line is left justified.
The line is centre
justified
This line is right
justified.
Full justify is
when your paragraph has both left and right justify at the
same time.
The icons in the toolbar should
explain that further for you. Normal justification is left.
When you click on one of the justification icons (e.g. centre)
the justification of the document will change (to centre
justification, for example) from the point where your cursor
is onwards. It will not return to the original justification
(left) until you once again select it by clicking on the icon
(the left justify icon in this example).
You can highlight text and then
choose a justification just for the highlighted portion.
To indent the first line of a paragraph (as shown in this
paragraph), you place your cursor at the beginning of the
line (in front of the first word) and the press the Tab
key on the keyboard.
To indent the entire paragraph (as shown in this paragraph)
you place your cursor at the
beginning
of the paragraph, and then click on the Increase
Indent icon on the right-hand
side of the
formatting toolbar.
To reverse the process click on the Decrease
Indent
icon.
