Aligning or block-indenting a paragraph

You can align a paragraph to the left side, center, or right side of the page or container (such as a layout text box). You can also apply the <blockquote> tag to indent the paragraph from its left and right margins without affecting its alignment. If you're using cascading style sheets, make sure that the type of alignment matches with the corresponding CSS style.

You can align, or wrap, text around images or other objects on the page or inside a layout text box, table cell, or floating box. (See Repositioning, aligning, or distributing objects.)

To align or block-indent a paragraph:

1. Click anywhere in the paragraph that you want to align or indent.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose an alignment from the Type > Alignment menu. Choose Default Alignment to remove any existing alignment from the paragraph.
• Click the Align Left button , the Align Center button , or the Align Right button  on the toolbar.
• To incrementally increase or decrease the space between the paragraph and its right and left margins, choose Increase Block Indent or Decrease Block Indent from the Type > Alignment menu.
• Choose an alignment or block indent option from the text's context menu.
