A relatively new feature that Squarespace has added to its repertoire is the ability to justify text.

Justified text is where your text is aligned so that every line is the same length. It works by adding extra white space between words to ensure every line finishes in the same place.

It’s how text is displayed in newspapers and magazines. Although it’s rarely used on websites, some people want to display their text in this way and you can now do so with just a click of a button on Squarespace.

Find the text that you want to justify and highlight it. In the panel that appears you will see various alignment options, such as right and center align.

Squarespace has now added a new alignment option, justified. You can tell which alignment button is justified as it’s the one that shows four lines of equal length.

Select this and your text will be justified. As easy as that.

Don’t forget to hit save once you’re done to save your changes.

This is a super simple, one-click task but before Squarespace added the justified alignment option, you actually needed CSS to justify text, so this is much better!
