There are four "main" types of text alignment.

  1. Left justified - Probably the most common, all text is aligned to the left side of the page.
  2. Right justified - Probably the least common, all text is aligned to the right side of the page.
  3. Center justified - The entire line of text is centered on the page.
  4. "Justified" - Sort of a mix between the other types. Text begins aligned to the left, but lines will "extend" themselves (by increasing the space between words) in order to completely fill the line with text. This type of alignment wants both the left and right sides of text to have straight edges.

What is the difference between text alignment and indentation?

Text alignment is a blanket format applied to a specific selection of text in relation to which margin the text is flush with (center, right, left, justified) Indentation is applied to a selection of text after alignment. It is the space between the left margin and the first letter of each line. It may be applied to the first line in a paragraph (standard indent) or to a works cited page to separate entries where the first line is not indented and the rest are (hanging indent).


What is the difference between Center text and justified text?

There are four types of alignment for word processing: Left, Center, Right, and Justify.Left alignment, means that the beginning of the line is at the left margin but the end of the line is at the end of last word that fits on the line and that can leave some blank space at the end of the line.Right alignment does just the opposite in that it has the last letter of the line at the right margin but the first letter of the line is wherever it ends up based on the words that fit on the line.Center alignment means that the words for that line are centered with whitespace potentially on both ends and in equal amount.Justified alignment means that there is no whitespace at either end of the line and that the extra space is consumed between each of the words on the line with an extra space here or there as needed.Justified alignment is quite often used in newspapers, magazines, and novels while Left alignment is used in more formal documents such as business letters and resumes. Right alignment is most commonly used in financial reportts and in documents written in languages that are read from right to left instead of left to right. Center alignment is used for titles of papers or manuscripts, to offset a certain line so as to have extra attention called to it, and very frequently in advertising pamphlets.
