Text Justification
What is justification?
This line is left justified.
The line is centre
justified
This line is right
justified.
Full justify is
when your paragraph has both left and right justify at the
same time.
| The icons in the
toolbar should explain that further for you. Normal justification
is left. When you click on one of the justification
icons (e.g. centre) the justification of the
document will change (to centre justification, for example)
from the point where your cursor is onwards. It will not
return to the original justification (left) until you
once again select it by clicking on the icon (the left
justify icon in this example). 
You can highlight text and then choose
a justification just for the highlighted portion. |
To indent the first line of a paragraph (as shown in this

you place your cursor at the
beginning
of the paragraph, and then click on the Increase
