Apache POI Word Aligning

To align text to right, left and center, Apache POI provides method setAlignment() which takes alignment constant (e.g. CENTER).

ParagraphAlignment.RIGHT aligns the Paragraph to the Right.

ParagraphAlignment.LEFT aligns the Paragraph to the Left.

ParagraphAlignment.CENTER aligns the Paragraph to the Center.

Lets see an example in which we are aligning text to the left.

Apache POI Word Aligning Example

package poiexample;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.ParagraphAlignment;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFParagraph;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFRun;
public class AligningExample {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument();
	    try(OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("Javatpoint.docx")) {
	    	 XWPFParagraph paragraph = doc.createParagraph();
	    	 paragraph.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.RIGHT);
	         XWPFRun run = paragraph.createRun();
	         run.setText("Text is aligned right");
	         doc.write(os);
	    }catch(Exception e) {
	    	System.out.println(e);
	    }
	}
}

Output:
