Align left (Ctrl+L): aligns your content to the left
margin. Left alignment is used for body text and ext

makes it easier to read the text.

Align center (Ctrl+E): center your content on the Working with T

page. Center alignment is mostly used for quotes
and headings.

Align right (Ctrl+R): mostly used for small section

of content, such as text in a header or footer

Justify text: distributes text evenly between the
margins. Justified alignment gives your document

clean look and crisp edges.

Indentation

Adding indentation to text adds structure to your document by allowing you to separate

information. Whether you’d like to move a single line or an entire paragraph, you can use

the tab selector and the horizontal ruler to set tabs and indents.
Word allows to indent the first line of a paragraph (called a first-line indent) as books do
to distinguish paragraphs. Indent the second and subsequent lines of a paragraph from

the left margin (called a hanging indent) to create a properly formatted bibliography.

Indent the entire paragraph any amount from the left and right margins (called left
indents and right indents) to separate quoted passages.
