Align Text/Center text for dialogue in Paper docs

Align Text/Center text for dialogue in Paper docs

I think this should be a pretty easy one - I'd love to be able to align text, particularly center aligned, but right and justify would likely have valid uses for a lot of people as well.

For my part, I'm a comic writer and since we use Dropbox for storing all of our production assets, being able to store the scripts there in Paper would be incredibly useful (rather than having to upload RTF files or use Google Docs separately) but the lack of being able to center text for dialogue makes this not really feasible.

Hi @i__am_dinesh_, I've merged your post for the center align option. 

 

I'd recommend opening a new idea post for the other ideas using these guidelines.

I love that Dropbox Paper documents are simple with minimal formatting. I think that it keeps them tidy with emphasis on the content.

 

One formatting option that I would love to see added, however, is the ability to right align text in tables. This would help to align numbers. I create regular finance reports with tables of figures. I would like to do this in Dropbox Paper alongside other related documents. (I currently use Evernote for these reports only because of this one feature.)

 

Here is a small example to illustrate. I would like to be able to do this...

£123,456

-£123

£123,333

 

Instead, I end up with this...

£123,456

-£123

£123,333

 

I would be very grateful if you would please consider this small feature as it would make a huge difference to me in using Dropbox Paper. I would be happy to speak to your product management team about this use case if it would be helpful.

 

Thank you for your consideration.

 

(Ha ha! I tried to insert a table for the above example but then the form validation prevented it. Hopefully the comment shows the left and right alignment in the example.)
