To show the Text Layout pane:

m

In the Inspector, click the Text tab, then click Layout.

Text Layout Controls

Use the Text Layout controls to specify general “layout” of your text. These controls
allow you to make text flow in a single line, in a paragraph with set margins, or on a
path.

Layout Method: Specifies whether the text layout is set to Type, Paragraph, or Path.
The default Layout Method is Type, which creates a single line of text.

Alignment: Sets the alignment of the lines of text. The alignment choices are Left,
Center, and Right.

Justification: Sets the justification of the lines of text. The justification choices are
None, Partial, and Full.

Line Spacing: Specifies the distance between each line of text (leading) in point-sized
increments. Dragging to the right (above 0) increases the line spacing and dragging to
the left (below 0) creates negative line spacing.
