Justify Text in PSE 5?

[Melissa]

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if it is possible to force justify text in PSE 5? Right now I am using a template to do it, but would like to do my own for the DET Tryouts. I also have PSP 7, so I could go back to it for text if need be(that is if it is possible to justify in that one, as well).

Thanks in advance for your help!!

justify or align? are you wanting your text like a newspaper where they line up equally on both sides or just left or right or center?

I want it done like a newspaper column. I use to work as a society editor, and in PageMaker we did command+shift+J...but I can't seem to do it that way with this program.

you have to do it while you're still typing, before committing the text. Just type what you want, hit cmd (ctrl) shift J

and as always, if that doesn't work on a Mac, try the Mac Ctrl-shift-J instead of Command, just to check!

I'll try it! Thanks!
