# Align your text in a paragraph

The text is commonly aligned in four ways: left, right, center or justified. To do that,

1. place the cursor to the position where you want the alignment to be applied (this can be a new line or already entered text),
2. select the alignment type you would like to apply:
   - Left alignment with the text lined up by the left side of the page (the right side remains unaligned) is done with the Align Left icon situated at the top toolbar.
   - Center alignment with the text lined up by the center of the page (the right and the left sides remains unaligned) is done with the Align Center icon situated at the top toolbar.
   - Right alignment with the text lined up by the right side of the page (the left side remains unaligned) is done with the Align Right icon situated at the top toolbar.
   - Justify alignment with the text lined up by both the left and the right sides of the page (additional spacing is added where necessary to keep the alignment) is done with the Justify icon situated at the top toolbar.
