Look at the text blow. You will need to format your text to match it. Tap 'Format Text'.
     

Why is text layout important?

        If text is wrongly laid out the effect can look a bit strange, and it also makes your work look unprofessional. Even something simple like the text being lined up on the right seems wrong to us.


        Fortunately, there are several easy things we can do to make our text look more organized:

  • Don't use too much punctuation
  • Make your text as clear as possible
  • Think about what the person reading it will see

Writing good, clear text is not difficult! It is important though, because clear writing shows clear thinking and will impress your readers.
