J is for Justify

Justify, in word processing, defines the alignment of text along the right and left borders.










Justifications are located in the paragraph section of the Home tab



The default alignment is Left. The figure above shows the left alignment selected.
That means all the text aligns up on the left nice and straight, as in the first paragraph shown below.

Jusitfy
Notice how the text int he second paragraph aligns straight on both the right and the left side ofthe paragraph. This is called Justify. Both sides are straight.

This is used in newspapers and magazines mostly. Some companies do like this in their documents and letters as well.

Psychologists say that with these paragraphs are mind wonders. With the extra white spaces between the words are minds tend to have time to think of other items. Sounds like a nice excuse!
