Setting text alignment

Alignment determines the position of a paragraph of text relative to the edges of its text block.
In horizontal alignment, text is aligned relative to the left and right edges of a text block. In
vertical alignment, text is aligned relative to the top and bottom edges of a text block. For
more information on setting horizontal or vertical text orientation, see
orientation" on page
You can align horizontal text to the left or right edges of the text block, center it, or fully
justify it, so that text aligns to both the left and right edges. By default, horizontal text is left-
aligned.
Vertical text can be aligned to the top or bottom of a text block, centered within the text
block, or fully justified between both the top and bottom edges.
To achieve a stretched filter, or to fit text into a specific space, you can set the alignment
to stretch the text horizontally (for horizontally oriented text) or vertically (for vertically
oriented text).
Horizontal text stretched to fill a text block
is the default setting for text in Fireworks for most languages. It
orients text horizontally and displays characters from right to
orients text vertically. If you apply this to lines of text separated by
orients text vertically. Multiple lines of text separated by returns are
