Paragraph alignment
Canvas aligns text to the indents of a text object. Canvas has four
alignment, or justification, settings: flush right, flush left, full (flush
with both right and left indents), or centered. You can set alignment
in either the Justification submenu of the Text menu, the Text Ruler,
or the Paragraph tab of the Type palette.
Settings on the Indents
tab
If necessary, open the Type
palette by choosing Text >
Type. Click the Indents tab to
bring it to the front.
Left. To specify the distance
between the left border of a
text object and the left indent
of a paragraph, enter the dis-
tance in the Left box.
Right. To specify the distance
between the right border of a
text object and the right indent
of a paragraph, enter the dis-
tance in the Right box.
First Line. To specify a differ-
ent indent for the first line of a
paragraph, enter the distance
in the First Line box. Canvas
measures the first line indent
from the left border of the
bounding box.
Object Wraps. To specify the
distance between an object
and the edge of text wrapped
around or inside that object,
enter the number of points in
the Object Wraps box.
