Chapter 6: Text And Typography
Full-justified Center-justified
Full justification may create wide letter or word spacing, especially in narrow text columns.
Other justification settings (without hyphenation) might appear too ragged on one or both
sides.
You can set letter- and word-spacing parameters to improve the appearance of text (see
"Adjusting letter and word spacing" on page 599).
To set justification using menu commands:
1. Choose Text | Justification. A checkmark appears next to the current justification setting.
2. Choose an alignment option in the submenu. Canvas applies the justification setting
immediately.
To set justification using the text settings in Properties bar:
1. Drag the Text tool in the layout area or select a text object to make the text settings appear in
the Properties bar.
2. Click a justification button. Canvas applies the justification setting immediately.
To set justification using the Type palette:
1. Open the Type palette and click the Paragraph tab to bring it to the front.
2. Click a Justification button.
