Default How to align text left, center, right?

Not so - each character will have a different width eg the letter i takes up
less space than the letter w.

iiiiiiiiii
wwwwwwwwww

The line wrap is set by a variety of factors not least of which is the
current printer driver.

Why make things unnecessarily difficult for yourself? Put a centre aligned
tab at the centre of the page
and a right aligned tab at the right margin. The texts will align to the
page.
