  I posted a blog that had a list of things and I wanted each line flush left to right. After I dropped my text into the new post from a word file where I wrote it, I highlighted it and hit the justify command, but when it printed on my site, it looks very unprofessional, because the right side of the text is not flush right

  Can anyone help? Word Press says they are closed until March 6. Thank you

  Justifying works with complete paragraphs; it doesn’t work with single lines that are narrower than the available width. You need two-column tables (in the HTML editor), with the right-column content aligned right:

  <table style="width:100%;">
  <tr><td>LEFT TEXT</td><td style="text-align:right;">RIGHT TEXT</td></tr>
  <tr><td>LEFT TEXT</td><td style="text-align:right;">RIGHT TEXT</td></tr>
  <tr><td>LEFT TEXT</td><td style="text-align:right;">RIGHT TEXT</td></tr>
  etc. etc.
  </table>
