Paragraph Alignment:
A paragraph's left and right side appearances refer to the paragraph alignment. The Writer aligns the text or the paragraphs to the left by default.
Types of alignment:
- Left alignment: The text or paragraphs are aligned to the left side to have a symmetrical view.
- Right alignment: The text or paragraphs are aligned to the right side to have a symmetrical view.
- Center alignment: The text or paragraphs are aligned to the centre with equal space on both sides.
- Both the sides of the paragraphs can also be aligned using the justify option.
Alignment options
Using the Formatting toolbar, four types of alignment can be selected.
- The alignment of one paragraph can be changed by clicking within that paragraph and selecting any alignment options from the formatting toolbar.
- For aligning several paragraphs, select the desired paragraphs and then choose any alignment options from the formatting toolbar.

Changing Margins Using Rulers:
To change the Margins, the Ruler option on the View menu can be used if the exact value for the margins is not known.
- If the ruler is not displayed, \(\text{View \(\rightarrow\) Ruler}\) option is selected.
- The margin’s top area is indicated by the grey area.
- The mouse pointer or the insertion point is moved between the grey and white areas of the ruler.
- The pointer changes into the line with arrows on both sides when the cursor is in the right spot.
- The margin guide is then dragged to a new location.
In this way, the margins on the page can be changed.
