What is the default alignment of text in MS Word?

In most word processing applications, including MS Word, the default alignment of text is Left. This means that text is aligned along the left margin of the document, creating a straight left edge while the right edge remains ragged. This is the most common and readable alignment for body text in many languages.

• Center: Aligns text equidistant from both the left and right margins.
• Right: Aligns text along the right margin, leaving the left edge ragged.
• Justify: Distributes text evenly between both the left and right margins, creating straight edges on both sides by adjusting word spacing.

Understanding default settings helps in efficient document creation.
