Text align Left, Right and Center are available in the Format menu under "Text".

The keyboard commands are the same for all OS X apps...

Left: shift-->command-->{
Center: shift-->command-->|
Right: shift-->command-->}

Justification is a technique used in print media to improve distribution in skinny columns. It is NOT recommended in web design for a number of reasons - both technical and with regard to readability. A Google search will give you on overview of the general consensus on this subject.

iWeb borrowed its inspector windows from the Apple DTP app iWork and so some of the features, although appropriate for print media, don't have a place in web design.

Although applications like iWeb, EasyWeb etc allow you to create a web page without actually knowing anything about the subject, it helps to learn a little about web design before you dive in.

Even if you don't have the time or inclination to learn the basics of web design, its worth getting acquainted with the things you should avoid. A lot of the techniques used in drag and drop apps may make your page look fancy (and make you look good to the uninitiated) but a lot of them degraded its performance in the browser, its readability and its ability to be found by the search engines.

One of the most overlooked aspects of web design is to make content easier to read by those with impaired vision and dyslexia. This should be your main reason for never using justified text.

That's really useful info Roddy...

Roddy is correct. Justified text is NOT a good on any website and we will not be supporting it in EasyWeb.
