Specify alignment

You can align type to one edge of a paragraph (left, center, or right for horizontal type; top, center, or bottom for vertical type). Alignment options are available only for paragraph type.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to be affected.

    • Select the paragraphs you want affected.

  2. In the Paragraph palette or options bar, click an alignment option.

    The options for horizontal type are:

    Left Align Text
    Aligns type to the left, leaving the right edge of the paragraph ragged.

    Center Text
    Aligns type to the center, leaving both edges of the paragraph ragged.

    Right Align Text
    Aligns type to right, leaving the left edge of the paragraph ragged.

    The options for vertical type are:

    Top Align Text
    Aligns type to the top, leaving the bottom edge of the paragraph ragged.

    Center Text
    Aligns type to the center, leaving both the top and bottom edges of the paragraph ragged.

    Bottom Align Text
    Aligns type to the bottom, leaving the top edge of the paragraph ragged.
