To specify justification for paragraph type
Text is said to be
justified
when it is aligned with both edges. You can choose to justify all text in a paragraph
excluding the last line, or you can justify text in a paragraph including the last line. The settings you choose for justi
fication affect the horizontal spacing of lines and the aesthetic appeal of type on a page. Justification options are
available only for paragraph type and determine word, letter, and glyph spacing. Justification settings apply only to
Roman characters; double-byte characters available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts are not affected by these
settings.
