What is the default text alignment in Microsoft Word?

The correct answer is Left. In Microsoft Word, the default text alignment is left alignment (also known as "left justified"). This means that when you start typing a new document, the text is aligned along the left margin, and the right margin is ragged. Among the options:

• Center: Used for headings and titles, but not the default.
• Right: Used for special formatting, but not the default.
• Left: Correct; this is the default alignment in most word processors.
• Justify: Aligns text to both left and right margins, but it is not the default.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Left".
