Entering and justifying text in lines or columns
Text can be justified as you enter it or after you enter it. The controls for justifying are the same
in either case. The following procedures are for justifying text as you enter it. There is a tip at
the end of each procedure explaining how to justify after entering.
Note: You cannot justify text in columns in TOWS or Small Text. If you need text in
columns, use the Enter/Edit Text dialog box.
