What is a justified paragraph?

Question

I have to answer questions for computer applications class and I cant find the answer for this one.

Answer 1

It's a paragraph formatting where the letters on each line are stretched out so that the left and right edges of each line are perfectly aligned with each other. The other types of paragraph alignment are left, right and centered.

Answer 2

A justified paragraph can be three things.

1.) Left Justified : All typed text lines start on the left side or left margin of the page.

2.) Center Justified: All typed text is centered on the page between the set margins.

3.) Right Justified: All typed text ends or is flush with the right margin of the page.

Answer 3

Justified commonly means the text is lined up on both sides, as a newspaper often is, so that the text in between is stretched out as necessary to "fill in the gaps" with extra blanks to make the lines align on the right side. Instead of just "left justified" where only the "left" side is a straight line and the right side is "ragged". or "right justified" the opposite...or...

Answer 4

This means you have to adjust the words to fit within a certain border (both the right and left margins). These sentences typed here end with a ragged edge. In order to justify, Printers do this by 2 means: first they can add extra blank spaces between the words; second, they can use letters that actually represent their real size. If I type "w" here, it takes up the same amt. of space as a "i". But in reality -- when you are writing it by hand -- the "w" takes up a lot more space.

Answer 5

When you're in MS Word, you'll see the icons on the toolbar up top. You can see the left justified, center, right and the justified icon is the one that looks like a block. If you highlight your document and click this button, it will "justify" everything.
