It's called justification. On the Home tab, in the paragraph menu, there are groups of lines representing text alignment. The one with the lines going straight across is justified text. If you're doing it a lot in a document, it's good to define a style with justification as part of the style definition (you'll see a similar paragraph menu in the style definition menu).

Alignment / Justification of Text in Microsoft Word
That link shows you the justification and horizontal and vertical alignment settings in Word.

You may mean justification or you may mean alignment. Horizontal alignment to both left and right (Wordperfect flush right) would be done using Tab settings.

I've attached a sample document from which the screenshot is taken. Click in a line set up the way you want and take a look at the ruler.

I Understand what you are saying... but... i want a left alignment and a right alignment on the same line - like word perfect can do (no text in the centre)

Hi Andyroo
when I want to do this then I use a single row table with two columns, then you can Flush Left or Right inside each of the cells. Turn off the borders and you can't see that it's a table.

That can be a useful method, but won't work if you have text on the left or the right that extends past the middle of the page. See screenshot below.

The top shows the text with a right-tab set at the right margin.
The middle one shows the same text using a table, with borders showing.
The bottom shows the same text in the table without the borders.
For many purposes, the table is a good solution.
