Align or justify text

You can align text in a table cell, text box, or shape to the left or right, centered, or justified (aligned on both the left and right).

Align or justify text

  1. Select the text box or shape, then tap Format button.

  2. Do any of the following:

    • Align text horizontally: Tap Text, then tap a horizontal alignment button.

    • Align text vertically: Tap Arrange, then tap a vertical alignment button.

Set text margins

Text in a text box, shape, or table cell has a default amount of space between the text and the object that contains it (text box, shape, or table cell). You can adjust that spacing by setting a different margin.

  1. Tap inside a shape or text box so that you see the insertion point, or select text.

  2. Tap Format button in the toolbar, then tap Layout.

    If you don’t see Layout, make sure you placed the insertion point in the text, instead of selecting the entire shape or text box.

  3. Tap Remove button or Add button next to Margin.
