Justify

Top  Previous  Next

The justify command will allow you to force the text to be aligned in a specific way on your shapes as it is being entered.

You can have text Right Justified, Left Justified, Middle Justifed, or spaced to fit in a specific area.

 

For example, to have text Left Justified to a polyline on the screen, you can enter text in this method.
