left/right justification

[D@annyBoy]

I am going to type a paragraph where every line is left and right justified.
I don't know what is the correct term.
Anyone?

Perhaps full justification?

"Justified." There's no such thing as left- or right-justified, just left-
or right-aligned.

 

[D@annyBoy]

What I meant was the after inputting the text
the sentences occupied the left and right margin

eg

the fox
abc xyz

z corresponds to x

how please???

Perhaps full justification?

On the format toolbar there is a button which will let you justify, it's
near the middle of the toolbar
Maybe that's what you are looking for.

Well, that's a different question. There are two ways to do this, depending
on how much text you're dealing with. For small amounts, set a right tab at
the right margin. Type the text you want at the left, press Tab, then type
the text you want at the right. For large amounts (for example, where the
text at the left or right may wrap), insert a two-column borderless table;
left-align the left column and right-align the right one. Start a new row
for each line of text.

Word does not have a Flush Right command. You have to set a right tab at the
right margin. If you want period leaders, go to Format | Tabs and add them.

Dear Suzanne,
Here is a follow-up question on this issue from an old Word Perfect user.

WP used had a feature called "flush right" which sent the cursor to the
right margin, then entered what you typed, moving to the left as it did.
For example, you could type a word starting at the left margin, then hit
"flush right" and type another word at the right margin. Another feature,
Flush Right with Dot Leaders, put dots between the two entries. How do you
do this in Word. Thanks.

That's actually exactly what Suzanne just explained how to do in Word. A
right tab sets text flush right. To set a right tab, you can use the Format
| Tabs dialog, which you should be able to figure out with some
experimentation. Clicking on the ruler will also do it, but then you have
to interpret graphics. More info:
