How to control text alignment for Single/Multiple Grid Questions
Help Center Form design • Last updated: 12 August, 2025PaperSurvey allows you to control text alignment for better readability and visual consistency. You can set a default alignment for all questions and customize individual grid questions as needed.
Setting default text alignment
- Open your survey in the form builder
- Navigate to Survey Settings from the menu
- Find the "Default Text Alignment" setting
- Choose between:
- Left - Aligns all question text to the left
- Right - Aligns all question text to the right
Customizing single-choice grid questions
Single-choice grid questions can be aligned individually, regardless of your default setting:
- Click on any single-choice grid question
- In the question properties panel, find the alignment option
- 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 - Questions appear on the left side of the page, with answer checkboxes to the right
- Right alignment - Questions appear on the right side, positioned next to the answer checkboxes
This layout choice affects how respondents scan and complete your survey. Choose based on your design preferences and the visual flow you want to create.
