How do I fix alignment and spacing in Word?

Manually in Word: highlight the paragraphs, then use the alignment buttons on the Home tab — left (Ctrl+L), center (Ctrl+E), right (Ctrl+R), or justify (Ctrl+J). For spacing, click the Line and Paragraph Spacing icon to set line spacing (1.0, 1.15, 1.5, double), and open Format > Paragraph to control Space Before and Space After, which is the setting that causes uneven gaps between paragraphs. Most spacing problems come from stray blank lines and manual paragraph breaks — turn on formatting marks (Ctrl+*) to see and delete them.

The catch is that inconsistency is spread throughout the document: different sections were pasted with different spacing rules, so fixing one block doesn't fix the rest. That's where whole-document automation helps. Veermat reads every paragraph, decides the correct alignment for its role (body text left or justified, headings and cover titles as appropriate), removes double blank lines, and applies uniform spacing so the vertical rhythm is even from the first page to the last.

This is especially useful for documents that will be printed or submitted, where uneven spacing and ragged alignment look unprofessional. The result stays a fully editable Word file, so you can still fine-tune any paragraph afterward. For a targeted pass focused only on alignment, use the Word Document Alignment tool.
