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. Click Apply to implement the indent settings. Left-justified Right-justified Full-justified Center-justified
