Alignment

Align or alignment is a term used to describe how text is placed on the screen. For example, left-aligned text creates a straight line of text on the left side of the page (like this paragraph). Text can be aligned along the edge of a page, cell, div, table, or another visible or non-visible line. Below are some different examples of aligned text.
When aligning or positioning text, never press the spacebar a bunch of times. Using this method to position text on a page causes many problems. Text should be positioned using one of the alignments mentioned below, or using tab stops and the Tab key.
