Making Text Widths Match 📏
Justified text helps create professional-looking designs by evenly spacing text within paragraphs. This option works great when left- or right-aligned text doesn’t fit your design needs.
Two Ways to Match Text Width:
- Adjust font size: Make text larger or smaller
- Use letter spacing: Modify space between letters to achieve desired width
FAQs
Why should I use justified text?
Justified text creates even edges on both sides by adjusting spaces between words, resulting in a clean and formal appearance.
Does justified text work for all designs?
No, justified text isn’t always the best choice. While it can create a clean look, it may affect readability, especially for people with dyslexia or other reading disabilities.
Can I mix different alignments in one text box?
Yes, you can access various alignment choices including Left, Center, Right, and Justify, each offering distinct formatting advantages based on your design needs.
How do I fix uneven spacing in justified text?
You can adjust word spacing, increase column width, or modify hyphenation settings to minimize gaps and improve the appearance of justified text.
Is justified text good for web content?
Not always ideal for websites since users often scan content quickly. Studies show that left-aligned text with an uneven right margin helps readers orient themselves better and contributes to faster reading.
