 Justification determines where text is inserted with respect to the bounding
box and sets the direction of text flow as text is entered.
 Line space options control the amount of space between lines of text.
 Width defines the width of the bounding box and therefore controls where
the text wraps to a new line.
 Background inserts an opaque background so that objects under the text
are masked.

flow relative to the text insertion point.
Justification controls both text alignment and text flow relative to the text
insertion point. Text is left-justified and right-justified with respect to the

object.
There are nine justification settings for multiline text.
If a single word is longer than the width of the paragraph, the word will extend
