Paragraph alignment
Canvas aligns text to the indents of a text object. Canvas has four alignment, or justification,
settings: flush right, flush left, full (flush with both right and left indents), or centered. You can set
alignment in either the Text | Justification submenu, Properties bar, or Paragraph tab of the Type
palette.
