Use the Character Attributes dialog box to format text.
Applying paragraph attributes
Paragraph attributes are formatting options that apply to a paragraph as a whole. They
include alignment, indents, leading, and tab settings. To apply attributes to selected
paragraphs, use the Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette
and on Windows you can also use the Paragraph Attributes dialog box (Windows
only) (Style > Formats).
You can copy any applied paragraph formats from one paragraph to other paragraphs
in the same box or text chain. To copy applied paragraph formats, select the paragraph
or range of paragraphs that you want to change, then press Option+/Alt+Shift while
clicking anywhere in the paragraph with the formats you want to copy. Copying
paragraph formats in this way will not change any character attributes.
Controlling alignment
You can choose from five paragraph alignments: Left, Centered, Right, Justified, and
Forced. The Forced option aligns all lines between the left and right indentations, like
the Justified option, but also justifies the last line (if there is a return at the end of the
paragraph).
To set the alignment of selected text, do one of the following things:
• Choose an alignment from the Style > Alignment submenu.
• Click an alignment icon in the Home/Classic tab or the Paragraph/Paragraph
Attributes tab of the Measurements palette.
• Use one of the keyboard commands below.
