Text/Justification

Choose Left, Right, Center, Full, or Forced Full from the Justification submenu to select how you want the text positioned in a frame. Choose Left or Right to place the text on the left or right edge of the frame, or choose Center to center the text between the left and right edges. Choose Full to spread the text evenly between the left and right edges of the frame, except for the last line, which is always left-justified. Choose Forced Full to spread the text evenly between the left and right edges of the frame, including the last line if it contains two or more words. Expand Single Word is selected by default when you choose either Full or Forced-Full justification.

Expand Single Word works with the Full and Forced Full justification commands only. When Expand Single Word is selected and you choose Full justification, Finale spreads the text evenly between the left and right edges of the frame. In lines of text containing only one word (other than the last line), Finale spreads the letters of that word evenly between the left and right edges of the frame; if the last line contains only one word, that word is left-justified. When Expand Single Word is not selected, all lines containing a single word are left-justified.

When Expand Single Word is selected and you choose Forced Full justification, Finale spreads the text evenly between the left and right edges of the frame. In lines of text containing only one word, Finale spreads the letters of that word evenly between the left and right edges of the frame. When Expand Single Word is not selected, all lines containing a single word are left-justified.

Note: Use the Justification submenu in the Text menu to position text within an editing frame; use the Alignment submenu to align a text block itself on a page (or change the alignment settings in the Frame Attributes dialog box).
