272 Text Handling

Justification or text alignment
Justification always applies to the complete line. Any selected region is ignored.

LEFT justification: Align the left-hand edge of the text to the initial click position.
CENTER justification: Centers the text around the click position.
RIGHT justification: Align the right-hand edge of the text to the initial click position.
FULL justification: This only applies when text is along a curve or in a column and
when there is at least one full line of text to justify.

When using simple text the initial click position on the page is taken as the origin for text
justification.
