Property Value

Type	Description
Nullable<ParagraphAlignment>	A ParagraphAlignment enumeration value or null (Nothing in Visual Basic) for a mixture of paragraphs with different alignments.

Available values:

Name	Description	Example
Left	Text is aligned to the left of the paragraph.
Right	Text is aligned to the right of the paragraph.
Center	Text is aligned to the center of the paragraph.
Justify	Text is justified to the entire width of the paragraph.
JustifyLow	If the language is Arabic, the paragraph uses small length Kashida. In other languages, text is justified with short inter-word spacing.
JustifyMedium	If the language is Arabic, the paragraph uses medium-length Kashida. In other languages, text is justified with wider inter-word spacing.
JustifyHigh	If the text is Arabic, the paragraph uses the kashida with the widest length. For other languages, paragraph text is justified with the widest inter-word spacing.
Distribute	The text is evenly distributed between right and left margins. If the last line is short, extra space is added between the characters so the line matches the paragraph’s width.
ThaiDistribute	Text is aligned between right and left margins by adding an extra space between each two characters. Affects languages with tone marks and vowel marks.

Remarks

The Alignment property value depends on the RightToLeft property.
