Hey everybody -
I have a form letter with several text boxes (not fields) - all I want is to get the text to justify across the span of the space. Left, center and right all affect changes, but justify does not. Is there some kind of trick to getting text to justify?
Thanks

There are two different parameters for the hAlign property for a text, but only one is directly available from the workspace.
The one your looking for is "justifyAll". You can assing this in the XML Source view or via scripting.

1. Left-align the last line and spread-justify the rest.
Reference_Syntax.hAlign = "justify";
2. Spread-justify all lines to fill the available region.
 Reference_Syntax.hAlign = "justifyAll";
