1. Left And Right Justify On Same Line Word For Mac Shortcut
2. Left And Right Justify On Same Line Word For Macro

I've done this by creating a table with two columns and as many rows as needed. Set the borders to be 'none' or white (so's you can't see them )and just left align for the LH column and right align for the RH column. If you do not want two columns on any line merge the cells for that line only. In WordPerfect, you can left-justify, center-justify, and right-justify text on the same line with just a few keystrokes or mouse clicks: 1. Type the left text; 2. Click Format, Line, Center (or press Shft+F7) and type the center text; and/or 3. Click Format, Line, Flush Right (or press Alt+F7) and type the right text.

Overview

WordPerfect users sometimes have difficulty figuring out how to produce text on a single line that is left aligned, centered, and flush right, something like this:

Doing this using WordPerfect's format tools is easy, but it might not be obvious -- especially to Microsoft Word users. Here is an abridged exchange from one of the Corel newsgroups that illustrates this common difficulty:

Some important points -

• You probably will find that just one or two of the methods below will work for most of your needs. Scan them to see which might be best for you.

• Most of the methods below primarily apply to short blocks of text on a single line in the document. (However, all of them can be used to create or simulate a single line with mixed justiifcation.)

• For longer blocks of text or multi-lineitems or paragraphs:

- Method 5 uses a three-column table with Table, Create (with or without cell borders) to divide the material.

- Method 6 uses 3 columns with Format, Columns to divide the material.

[While you can break up longer or multi-line items into short blocks of text, each block ending with a hard return (<Enter> key), and then justify them as you would a single line of short phrases (see methods 1-4 below), the 3-column table or column methods should be easier to set up and maintain during editing when used with long items.]

Method 1: Using the Format menu

This procedure assumes you are using the <WordPerfect Menu>; otherwise, these menu choices will not appear. If necessary, right-click on the top menu bar and select the <WordPerfect Menu> choice from the list that appears. [Note that the other procedures below will usually work no matter which menu is active.]

Compared to the next two procedures below -- using the keyboard or mouse -- using the Format menu takes a few extra mouse clicks, but it might be easier to remember later (i.e, Format, Line).

Do not select any text.
Instead, do one of the following:

• If you have not yet created the line:

Use the method in described in the Question/Answer above:
[1] First type the left-justified word(s), don't select anything, and then choose Format, Line, Center, which moves the cursor to the center of the line.
[2] Next, type the text that should be centered.
[3] Then choose Format, Line, Flush Right and then type the right-justified word(s).

Notes

¤ If you select any text first, WordPerfect will put the format code at the start of the line, instead of where you want it. Just delete those codes in Reveal Codes (or use Edit, Undo), and start over without selecting anything.

¤ As mentioned above, these procedures are for a single line of text, not for splitting a multi-line paragraph. (See above for multi-line paragraphs.)

¤ As also mentioned above: The centering format code in these procedures is different from the one inserted when using the more typical choice of Format, Justification, Center. It can be seen as a [Hd_Center_in_Marg] code in Reveal Codes. It produces a different result from normal center justification ([Just]).

Tips

Video example

The link below demonstrates (in slow motion) how to create a new line of text with left, center, and right justification, as explained in the first method above using the Format menu:

Method 2: Use keyboard shortcuts

This procedure assumes you are using a <WPWin Keyboard> or a <WPDOS Keyboard>; otherwise, these keyboard shortcut choices will not be available. If necessary, right-click on the top menu bar, choose Settings, then choose the Keyboards tab and select a WordPerfect keyboard from the list that appears.

Do not select any text.

Use the same procedures above (under 'Using the Format menu'), but use these keyboard shortcuts instead of the Format menu:

<Shift+F7> = Centered text (<WPWin Keyboard>).
<Shift+F6> = Centered text (<DOS Keyboard>).

<Alt+F7> = Flush Right (<WPWin Keyboard>).
<Alt+Ctrl+F6> = Flush Right (<DOS Keyboard>).

Tips

☼ Pressing these shortcut key combinations (e.g., <Alt+F7>) twice in succession (e.g.,<Alt+F7>,<Alt+F7>) will insert [..]dot leaders up to the flush right code; pressing <Shift+F7> twice will insert [..]dot leaders up to the centered text). (To indent paragraphs with dot leaders, see here.)
[To change the default 'dot' character see Footnote 1 below.]

☼ You can customize your keyboard to assign (or reassign) these and many other features to different shortcut key combinations. See Assigning a macro, feature, program, or string of keystrokes to a key or key combination (i.e., a 'shortcut' or 'hot key'). Jdk for mac. The above items are found on the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, under the 'Feature categories' drop listFormat category

Example 1: You could assign Justify Left to <Alt+L>, Center Text to <Alt+C>, and Flush Right to <Alt+R>.

Example 2: If you only need quick access to flush right with dot leaders you could assign Flush Right with Dot Leaders to <Alt+R> or perhaps <Alt+Ctrl+F7> (or any available shortcut key).

Example 3: While this page describes aligning three main parts of a typical line of text -- left, center, and flush right -- you can do the same thing with tab settings by first clearing all tab settings (Format, Line, Tab Set, Clear All) and then setting new ones at the desired specific locations. This can give more flexibility in the number of text locations on a line and their specific locations. See Tab Settings in WordPerfect.

Method 3: Use the mouse

Do not select any text.

Use the procedures above (under 'Using the Format menu'), but use your mouse to access a context menu:

Place the mouse cursor (i.e., the insertion point) at the desired location, and right-click the mouse. Choose Center or Flush Right from the drop-down context menu.

Tip

☼ Clicking Center or Flush Right twice in succession will insert [..]dot leaders. (You can also use this tip if you use the Format menu or keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse.)
[To change the default 'dot' character see Footnote 1 below.]

Method 4: Use the Shadow Cursor

You can simulate center-justified text and flush right text by using the Shadow Cursor, which simply inserts tabs (and hard returns, if needed) up to the Shadow Cursor's location -- the point in the document where you left-clicked while the Shadow Cursor is turned on.

Tips

Method 5: Use a table

You can mix text justification on a single 'line' by creating a borderless two- or three-column, one-row table:

1. On a new line, click Table, Create.

2. Set Columns to '3' (or '2') and Rows to '1'.

3. Click Speed Format and choose No Lines No Border, then click Apply.

4. Click Create.

5. Enter your text in each cell.

6. Justify the column text as appropriate. You can

(a) right-click in the cells and choose Format, Horizontal [Left/Center/Right alignment of the cell contents] from the context menu;

or

(b) apply normal line justification to the text itself in each cell from the main menu's Format choice.

Tips

☼ You can use this method for both short phrases and for multi-line blocks of text.

☼ Tables have some other advantages over the methods above. For example: You can add various borders and/or background fills to them. You can adjust the spacing between the text and the borders with the table's column and row margins. For multi-line items (e.g., several currency amounts) you can format the numbers.

Notes

¤ Microsoft Word users must use tables (or special tabs; see Footnote 2 below) to have mixed text justification on a single line, because MSWord formats the left, center, and/or right justification of individual words on a line as though they were individual paragraphs, and such paragraph objects ('containers') cannot occupy the same vertical space (i.e., the same 'line') at the same time -- unless they are inside separate table cells.

¤ In WordPerfect, when using any of the first three procedures above, the text itself is centered or made flush right by inserting special codes directly into the line, 'pushing' the text into a specific location on the line. This is not the same thing as setting up center justification or right justification (as in Method 6), which applies to entire paragraphs (i.e., anything that ends with a hard return or equivalent).

Method 6: Use 3 columns

You can mix text justification on a single 'line' with three short columns, each containing the appropriate text and with each column justified left, center, and flush right:

You can use this method for both short phrases and for multi-line blocks of text.

1. On a new line in the document click Format, Columns.

2. Set the Number of columns to '3' and click OK.

Note: If there was any following text in the document it is now in column format. This will be corrected in the next step.

3. Click inside the first column at the very top before any text and format codes (if any appears there) and press <Ctrl+Enter> twice to move the cursor and any existing text rightwards. The cursor should now be positioned at the very top of the third column before any text in that column.

4. Click Format, Columns, Discontinue to stop further column formatting. The cursor should move itself outside the columns (at which point another [Col Def] code -- the 'off' code of the pair of column codes -- should appear in Reveal Codes).

5. You should now have 3 empty, 1-line columns on screen. (Optional: Adjust the space between the columns to a minimum dimension: Just double click on the first [Col Def] code in Reveal Codes to open the Columns editor.)

6. Enter your new text in each column. Just click in a column with your mouse -- or if already in a column you can use the left or right arrow keys to move to a different column.

7. Justify the center and right columns' text:

(a) Click in the center column before any text and click Format, Justification, Center; then -

(b) click in the right column before any text and click Format, Justification, Right.

Tip: Instead of using Format, Justification, Center (or Right) you could use the same format menu choices or shortcut keys described in Method 1 and Method 2 above. They should give the same results when used in columns.

This is a quick and dirty tip on how to have seemingly contradictory alignments on the same line. In Word, this trick is done with tabs. In a nutshell, you follow these steps:

1. Make sure the paragraph is formatted as left-aligned.
2. Display the Home tab of the ribbon.
3. Click the small icon at the bottom-right of the Paragraph group. Word displays the Paragraph dialog box. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1. The Paragraph dialog box.

4. Click the Tabs button. Word displays the Tabs dialog box. (See Figure 2.)

Figure 2. The Tabs dialog box.

5. What you want to do is to insert a right-aligned tab near the right edge of the line. For instance, if 6.2 is near the right edge of the line, then insert 6.2 in the Tab Stop Position field. (This indicates you want the tab stop to be 6.2 inches from the left margin.)
6. In the Alignment area, click Right. (This tells Word that this will be a right-aligned tab, just like you want.)
7. Click on Set.
8. Click on OK. Word closes the Tabs dialog box.

Now you can type your text, pressing the Tab key between the information you want left-aligned and the information you want right-aligned. The right-aligned information will align at whatever horizontal point you specified in step 5. (Thus, if you used the example measurement of 6.2 inches, then your text—what you type after the Tab—will end at 6.2 inches from the left margin.)

This trick works great if the information you are formatting is limited to a single line. As an example, this can easily work for a chapter name and page number in a header or footer. (You know; the chapter name appears at the left and the page number at the right.)

If you need to accomplish the same task for multiple lines, then it is best to use a small table with two or three cells. The left-most cell of the table can be for the left-aligned information, and the right-most cell can be used for right-aligned information. The center cell (if you choose to use one) is used for spacing purposes.
