When would you use a right align?

Answer 1

For Word, it would be when you want to have text to the right, like sometimes parts of the top of a formal letter, where an address or a date might be aligned to the right. In Excel, numbers are aligned to the right, but text is to the left. Sometimes you might want the headings in cells to be aligned to the right to be closer to the values they are acting as headings for.
