Align paragraphs and create lists

Follow these steps

1. 1

   Choose horizontal alignment

   PropertiesStyle

   Choose left, center, or right alignment. The justification controls let you align the final line left, center, or right, or justify every line. Hover over an icon to read its complete name.

   Alignment affects the entire box even when only a few words are selected inside it.

2. 2

   Set line height

   PropertiesStyle

   Type a Line height value or use the slider. It is a multiplier relative to the text size: 1.5 provides more room between lines. For a consistent block-wide setting, finish editing and select the block first. When working with a selection inside the text, review the affected paragraphs and remaining lines afterward.

3. 3

   Create a bullet list

   PropertiesParagraph

   Select the block and click the bullet icon under List to convert all its content. To convert only some paragraphs, double-click into the text, select those paragraphs, and use the same icon. You do not need to type bullet characters manually.

4. 4

   Switch list types or remove a list

   PropertiesParagraph

   Use the numbered-list icon when order matters. Applying the same list type again removes that list formatting; choosing the other icon changes its type. Review item boundaries and numbering afterward.

5. 5

   Position text vertically

   PropertiesFrame

   Choose top, middle, or bottom alignment. This moves text within its box, not the box on the page. The box needs spare vertical space for the difference to be visible.
