Left & Right Paragraph Alignment

[Guest]

I wish to begin a paragraph with left alignment and then right justify the last few characters on that same line. How do I get this right justification and left alignment? For example

aaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
ccccc 1

where the first "a","b" and "c" are left aligned and "1","2", and "10" are right justified.Thank you for your help.

Set a right tab.

Hi Tracy,

This is a feature of WP that I miss. However, it is easy to get around. Left
justify your paragraph and put a right-tab setting at the right margin.
After your text on the left side, press the tab key and put in your text on
the right. Look at the header and footer styles. They come with built-in
center tab and right tab settings.

Another option is to use a table with two columns. Right-justify the right
column.

You may want to take a look at

If you are moving from WP to Word, post back for more information that would
help you.
