How to Format Paragraphs in WordPress Posts
- 1). Navigate to "Posts" from the left-hand menu in the WordPress dashboard. Click the title of the post you want to edit or click "Add New" at the top of the screen.
- 2). Inspect the "Visual" tab on the top of the editor box and make sure it is highlighted. Press "Alt+Shift+Z" to display both rows of icons on the editor's toolbar. Click the drop-down box on the left side of the tool bar. Select "Paragraph" and begin writing your paragraphs. Press the "Enter" key whenever you want to start a new paragraph.
- 3). Highlight text you want to convert to paragraph formatting. Click the drop-down box on the toolbar and select "Paragraph." Keep the text highlighted and click one of the toolbar buttons to format your text with a different alignment, color or indenting.
- 4). Click the "HTML" tab at the top of the editor box to edit your post using HTML. Place "<p>" tags around any text you want to format as a paragraph. Set the "text-align" CSS property to "justify" or "right" to use an alignment other than left. For example:
<p style="text-align: justify;">This a justified paragraph.</p>
