It may already be there as The text-align: left; in which case edit it. Don’t change anything else 😀 The text-align: justify; Example … #content { position:relative; text-align: justify; font: 80% Tahoma, Arial, Serif; } * Thread Starter [rebekkah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rebekkah/) * (@rebekkah) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-105677) * Ah, perfect. Now I just have to figure out how to decrease the space between my posting area and my menu area. Working on that now, anyone with a quick explanation? * Thread Starter [rebekkah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rebekkah/) * (@rebekkah) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-105678) * Nevermind, found it 🙂 Thanks for all your help * [ifinci](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ifinci/) * (@ifinci) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106424) * Is there a way to do this per post? * My Blog contains posts in English, which I want to be justify to the left (as they are currently), and post in Hebrew, which I want to align to the right. * [daiver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daiver/) * (@daiver) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106445) * This is what I have in my CSS: * #content { float: right; width: 500px; background: #ffffff; margin: 0 10px 0 0; display: inline; } * How do I get it to justify? I cant seem to find that part that staritt posted. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106446) * daiver, you need to add the “text-align: justify;” element to your #content since it’s not there already. Leave off the double-quotes! * [daiver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daiver/) * (@daiver) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106447) * Just put that in the bottom and the magic happens? * [daiver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daiver/) * (@daiver) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106448) * Well, magic didnt happen. heh. Its still aligned left. I wonder if Rin places this code elsewhere. * [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * (@lorelle) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106449) * The answer to an eariler question in this thread is how to align content left or right based upon language. * If you set all your Hebrew (or whatever right aligned language) posts in a specific category, and English in another category, you can use a query that checks to see which category is being viewed, and the header will be changed dependent upon the category. The header contains the style sheet reference which would include the styles needed to accommodate the switch in direction. * The simple technique is explained [here](http://www.cameraontheroad.com/?p=623) and there are probably other ways of doing it but this is just too easy to do. * [daiver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daiver/) * (@daiver) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106450) * Found this: * #container { width: 750px; margin: 10px auto; background: #f5f6f7; border-left: 1px solid #d5d7db; border-right: 1px solid #d5d7db; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: .70em; text-align: left; /* IE hack Part 2 */ border-top: 15px solid #d5d7db; border-bottom: 15px solid #d5d7db; * Could it be there? * [daiver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daiver/) * (@daiver) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106451) * Lorelle, I just write in spanish so I just want all posts to be justified. Cant beleive I cant find this on my own. lol * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106452) * ifinci, this can probably be done, but might require a lot of mutzing around. Might be better to add a quicktag to handle per-post justify; I know there’s some info in the [codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/codex) about it, can’t find it real quick, just do a search for “add a quicktag”…. * [daiver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daiver/) * (@daiver) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/justify-text-in-posts/#post-106453) * OK. I found the solution. Thanks!
