Hello, I'm here to ask to the people who work with this tool (if any) help about a simple task, that calls justify text.

My goal is to justify text the way we do in MS Word. I have an area where the text will fit, but when clicking the justify button, nothing happens.

Anyone can help me to solve this question?

If you just start typing the text without drawing a text box, then it doesn't have borders where the text would justify.
First draw a text box (select text tool, draw a rectangle, then release the mouse button), then type stuff in it, then press justify. Should work that way.

Also make sure you press the justify all button instead justify all but last line. If there's only one line of text and you press the justify all but last line, it doesn't get justified naturally.

And also make sure you have the whole text box selected with the selection tool when you justify it.
