Text alignment controls where question text appears on the page relative to the answer checkboxes. Adjusting alignment can improve readability and visual flow, especially for grid-style questions. PaperSurvey lets you set a default alignment for all questions and customize individual grid questions as needed.

Setting default text alignment

1. Open your survey in the form builder
2. Navigate to Survey Settings from the menu
3. Find the "Text alignment" setting
4. Choose between:
   • Left to align all question text to the left
   • Right to align all question text to the right

Customizing single-choice grid questions

Single-choice grid questions can be aligned individually, regardless of your default setting:

1. Click on any single-choice grid question
2. In the question properties panel, find the alignment option
3. Choose your preferred alignment for that specific question

This flexibility allows you to optimize readability for different question types within the same survey.

Understanding alignment options

The alignment setting controls where question text appears on the page:

• Left alignment places questions on the left side of the page, with answer checkboxes to the right
• Right alignment places questions on the right side, positioned next to the answer checkboxes

Choose an alignment based on your design preferences and the visual flow you want respondents to follow through each question.
