Indentation and text alignment

You can adjust text alignment in a document using the toolbar buttons:
  • Left alignment – left;

  • Center alignment – centered;

  • Right alignment – right;

  • Justify to Page Width – to fit the page width.

Also, you can decrease Decrease Indent or increase Increase Indent text indent.

When an indentation change is applied to an item in a bulleted or numbered list, the item’s hierarchy changes.

The settings are applied to the selected text or to the paragraph in which the cursor is positioned.

Alignment and padding

Copy format

Format copy and paste restrictions are described in the table (Copy and Paste Format Restrictions).

Table 2. Copy and Paste Format Restrictions
Copy formatPaste format
  • Alignment and indentation will only be copied if you select the entire line or position the cursor at the very beginning of it (including the marker or list number, if any).

  • If there are several formats in a paragraph or selected text, the format of the first character will be copied, and the alignment and indents of the first paragraph.

  • If you just set the cursor and press the button, the style of the first character after the cursor will be copied, even if it is a space.

  • If you place the cursor before a word, the format will be applied to that word only.

  • If you place the cursor after a word, the format will apply only to that word.

  • If you place the cursor inside a word, the format will apply only to that word.

  • If you set the cursor to a new paragraph (no text), you will see the copied format when you start typing.

  • If you place the cursor at the end of a paragraph, the format will not be applied.

  • If you copy a full paragraph or line format with alignment and padding, and then apply it to a list item, the item will be excluded from the list, its marker or number will be removed.

  • Similarly, the opposite: if you copy the format of a list item or the entire list and apply it to plain text, the text will become a list.

  • If you copy the format of a paragraph, and then select only a part, the alignment and indentation will be applied to the entire paragraph, and the rest - only to the selected part.

Clear format

In Doc.one, you can quickly clear the format of any piece of text.

To do this, select a paragraph or line and press the button Clear Format on the toolbar. As a result, the text will be formatted by default (Arial, 12 pt, black, left justified, no padding).
