Text alignment puzzle

[sandyinlet]

Not on the layout to be used for printing, the user is presented with a large global text field into which to compose a letter. I've successfully provided a scripted tools to let the user select text and change colour, typeface, point size, bold, etc.

Now I'd like to let the user select a segment of text and centre it, make it flush left or right or justify it.

Are there tools for doing this?

Yes... use the text formatting commands that FMP provides in the Format menu. There is no need to re-invent these. An no need for scripts either.
