We read from left to right, anchoring our tracking across the page at the vertical line of the left margin. For the foreseeable future, the legibility of your Web documents will suffer if you set your text in justified format.Ĭentered and right-justified text blocks are difficult to read. Also, Web browsers are unlikely to offer automatic hyphenation any time soon, another "must" for properly justified text. Fine adjustments are not possible on low-resolution computer displays and are impractical to implement in today's Web browsers. The most recent browser versions (and CSS) support justified text, but it is achieved by crude adjustments to word spacing. This level of control is not even a remote possibility on Web pages.
#IRREGULAR SPACING BETWEEN WORDS IN WORD MANUAL#
But even with sophisticated page layout software, justified text blocks often suffer from poor spacing and excessive hyphenation and require manual refinement. Page layout programs use a hyphenation dictionary to check for and apply hyphenation at each line's end and then adjust word spacing throughout the line. In print, justification is achieved by adjusting the space between words and by using word hyphenation. Justified blocks of text create solid rectangles, and block headings are normally centered for a symmetrical, formal-looking document.
Justified text is set flush with the left and right margins.
Left-justified, centered, right-justified, and justified text are the alignment options available on the Web. Text blocks have different ways of sitting within margins. They also add visual interest by contrasting the positive space of the screen (text, graphics) from the negative (white) space. And when used consistently, margins provide unity throughout a site by creating a consistent structure and look to the site pages. Margins and space can be used to delineate the main text from the other page elements. Margins provide important visual relief in any document, but careful design of margins and other "white space" is particularly important in Web page design because Web content must coexist on the computer screen with the interface elements of the browser itself and with other windows, menus, and icons of the user interface. Margins define the reading area of your page by separating the main text from the surrounding environment.
