Hello notesfromdovelane!

The tool bar on your post and page editor has the command for justify the text.

Here’s explained how to use the alignment options, included the justify one: https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment.

Try that out and let me know how it goes! If you get stuck at any step, of if you have any more questions, just let me know and I’ll be glad to help. Cheers!

I want to add something for you to consider, please.

The reason why a minority of fully sighted bloggers choose to justify text is aesthetics, and doing so creates an accessibility issue those who are not fully sighted. I am a visually challenged person. Justifying text creates “holes” that are a barrier to ease of reading for folks like me. And, that is why I never follow blogs wherein a blogger justifies text.

Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn’t realised. I will think again.

You’re welcome. I used to be far more assertive/aggressive about accessibility issues, but now that I no longer blog regularly my approach has become softer. ;)
