TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
158 | A Guide to QuarkXPress 2018
Use the Character tab of the Measurements palette 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 tab of the Measurements palette.
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 tab or the Paragraph tab of the•
Measurements palette.
