2. 2Click Align Left, Align Center, Align Right or Justify (Block).

The button for the alignment you're using lights up pink.

What Is Justify (Block)?

Justify spreads each line of a paragraph so both edges are straight, like a block of text in a printed book.

Can I Align a Picture or a QR Code?

Yes. Click the picture or the QR code, then click Left, Center or Right. The same buttons work for both. See How to Resize and Align a Picture.

Which Alignment Should I Use for My Book?

Left alignment is the easy choice for most of your text, and it's what new text starts with. Center is lovely for a short line, like a dedication. You can check how it prints in Page Preview.
