### Examples

The following example applies paragraph layout to selected report text by using `ParagraphFormat.Justification`.

```csharp
textControl.Text = "First item\nSecond item\nThird item";
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length);
ParagraphFormat paragraphFormat = textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat;

paragraphFormat.Justification = Justification.Spaces;
Console.WriteLine($"Justification used by Paragraph Format: {paragraphFormat.Justification}");

textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat = paragraphFormat;
```

```vbnet
textControl.Text = "First item" & vbCrLf & "Second item" & vbCrLf & "Third item"
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length)
Dim paragraphFormat As ParagraphFormat = textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat

paragraphFormat.Justification = Justification.Spaces
Console.WriteLine($"Justification used by Paragraph Format: {paragraphFormat.Justification}")

textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat = paragraphFormat
```

### Remarks

The property's default value is Justification.Spaces.

The property returns its default value, if the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with mixed justification settings. The [Selection.IsCommonValueSelected](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/selection/iscommonvalueselected-method/llms-full.txt) method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
