The Alignment buttons on the Text toolbar let you see and edit the Alignment state of the current selection.

Text is aligned about an imaginary "text reference point". If you added text with the mouse, the text reference point is where you clicked the mouse to add the text.

Press the Align Left button to align the left side of the text with the text reference point. Press the Center button to align the center of the text with the text reference point. Press the Align Right button to align the right side of the text with the text reference point.

The Align Left, Center and Align Right buttons

If the current selection contains different Alignment states, then no Alignment button will be selected. You can then select a new Alignment (Left, Center or Right) to be applied to the entire selection.

If there are no objects selected, the Alignment buttons reflects the Alignment state to be used when new text is added.

The Text Alignment property can also be accessed through the Text property page. For more information, see Text.
