In this article, we will show you how to align text in Google Docs. Simply follow the steps below.

Align Text in Google Docs

To align text in Google Docs, we will use an example document titled “Healthy Eating Habits.” Follow the steps below:

1. Highlight the Text for Alignment

Highlight the text you want to align. To do this, click and drag your mouse over the text to select it. For example, we want to align our title, ‘Healthy Eating Habits,’ so let’s highlight the entire title.

2. Click the Alignment Button in the Toolbar

Locate the alignment button on the toolbar at the top of the screen. The button is represented by four horizontal lines, each line showing a different alignment option. Click on this button to reveal the alignment options.

3. Choose the Desired Alignment Option

Select the alignment you prefer: left, center, right, or justified. For our example, we want the text ‘Healthy Eating Habits’ to be centered, so let’s click on the Center align option. The highlighted text will then adjust according to your selection.

4. Review and Adjust the Text Alignment if Needed

Review your text to ensure it aligns correctly according to your preference. If the alignment is not as expected, you can reselect the text and choose a different alignment option. We will now see our title, ‘Healthy Eating Habits,’ perfectly centered on the page.
