Here is an outline of the terms used in this tutorial to explain text alignment and justification using Adobe InDesign:
Spread: 2 page (book) layout
Column Gutter: the space between columns
Spine: book center
Align Left: type is aligned to the left margin, this is the most common form of alignment
Align Center: type is center aligned, common for display type
Align Right: type is aligned to the right margin
Align Left Justify: paragraph is aligned to the left and right margins, text is left-aligned
Align Center Justify: paragraph is aligned to the left and right margins, text is center-aligned
Align Right Justify: paragraph is aligned to the left and right margins, text is right-aligned
Align Full Justify: all text is "force" aligned to the left and right margins, wrap is controlled in-part by hyphenation settings, common in formal newsletters and legal documents
Align Towards Spine: text is aligned towards the spine (book or spread center), used in certain book layouts
Align Away From Spine: text is aligned away from the spine (book or spread center), used in certain book layouts
Note: May adjust Adobe InDesign alignment settings in the Paragraph Styles panel (Window, Styles, Paragraph Styles, cmd + F11 on Mac) by double-clicking on the default or body paragraph style and navigating to Indents and Spacing
Note 2: Justification and text wrap are controlled in-part by the Hyphenation settings in the Paragraph Style Options.
Best practice tip: choose an alignment that suits your project and industry.
