Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Justify adjusts the space between words in every line except the last line of the paragraph. This aligns both the left and right sides of the text with the margins.

Force justify justifies every line in the paragraph, including the last.

The HorzAlign element is relevant only when contained in a Shape or StyleSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet or PageSheet element.
