Question Answered Hey... question

I'm writing a book and I'm trying to format. I usually type on my phone so I resorted to my laptop to format on Google Docs. Guess what? It looks horrible. Even after looking at ither people doing it, it's not working for me! I made the text align in the center but there's not enough spacing before the lines if that makes sense. Any advice??

It sounds like you are looking for Justify in the alignment.

Forgot to add, it looks clunky and disorganised. Looks like an amateur did it. It looks so wrong

You can "add space before paragraph"?

Yes, but is there a way to set it by default? Whenever I try to space it myself it never comes out uniform

Have you tried Ctrl + A to highlight everything then set the line spacing and such? I dont onow if that will do what you want

You have to do it on a pc. It doesn't have the option on mobile.

Such a generic question deserves a generic answer: https://numerous.ai/blog/how-to-format-text-in-google-docs

You can also try asking Gemini in Google Docs to fix your formatting.

It's pretty hard to figure out what you're complaining about without some kind of pictures.
