Horizontal Alignment of Text in Microsoft Word
The screen shots below all include a fifth icon for Distributed Text which will show up if you have East-Asian language support installed. The command is available even if the language support is not installed, though.
Left-Alignment (Ragged-Right) (Ctr+L)
Center-Alignment (Centered) (Ctr+E)
Right-Alignment (Ragged-Left) (Ctr+R)
Full Justification / Alignment (Ctr+J)
Tools => Options => Compatibility (tab)
Distributed Paragraph Alignment (Ctrl+Shift+J) - an undocumented option
If you display the icon, it comes with the 'tooltip' when you hover over it.
Again, I would never use Distributed for anything other than a single line of text for a special purpose. It does not, contrary to the tooltip shown, give a document a clean look!
My thank to Rohn and Stefan Blom for the information about the Distributed option. The keyboard shortcut does show up for the command Distribute Para in printed lists of commands or of keyboard shortcuts generated by Word using the ListCommands command. I call this an undocumented option becausethe Ctrl+Shift+J Shortcut does not show up in the lists of Keyboard Shortcuts on the Microsoft site that I've found. As far as I know, its use is not documented by Microsoft's site, at least not in English.
All of the methods shown so far keep the same text on each line, they simply move the text to different positions on a line. That is not the case with the justification methods for Right-to-Left languages. They can ove words from line to line.
