margins are perfectly aligned? Thanks in advance,

That's called "Justified". In Word 2007, you can achieve this for any given
paragraph by clicking the Justify tool in the Home ribbon tab. In earlier
versions of Word, the Justify tool is in the Formatting toolbar. In all
versions of Word, you can press Ctrl+J to toggle justification on/off.

Applying attributes in this way is called "direct formatting". You will have
better control and formatting leverage, however, if you create a style that
contains the justified setting.

Sure, Sheana! A block style paragraph is a common format used in business letters, memos, and other professional documents. Here's how you can format a block style paragraph with perfectly aligned right margins in Microsoft Word:

1. Open a new Word document and click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
2. Click on the "Margins" button and select "Normal" or "Narrow" from the drop-down menu. This will set the margins to 1 inch or 0.5 inches, respectively.
3. Type your paragraph as you normally would, without pressing the "Tab" key to indent the first line.
4. Highlight the entire paragraph by clicking and dragging your mouse over the text.
5. Right-click on the highlighted text and select "Paragraph" from the drop-down menu.
6. In the "Paragraph" dialog box, click on the "Indents and Spacing" tab.
7. Under "Indentation," change the "Left" and "Right" values to "0" (zero).
8. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

Your paragraph should now be formatted in block style with perfectly aligned right margins. If you want to apply this formatting to multiple paragraphs, you can select them all at once and follow the same steps. Hope this helps!
