These commands let you specify the alignment of text on the page: along the left or right
margin, centered between the margins, or along both the left and right margins. When you are
using center, right or full justification, the backspace character (ASCII BS, decimal 8) and
horizontal tabs won't function. If you're using full justification, use a carriage return only at the
end of a paragraph, not at the end of each line.
