**Box horizontal alignment**

The horizontal alignment of a text box on the output page is relative to the **X** position. You can choose among **Left**, **Center**, and **Right**.

## Exercise

Download and import the attached configuration called **05. Rearrange Properties (Box Alignment) in Lasernet Developer 9**. Afterward, navigate to the **Forms** section and then open the **Sample** form.

1. Add a new Rearrange that is similar to the one you can see in the following image:

Specify the following settings for the Rearrange you have just added:

1. Set **Size type** to **Auto Y**.
2. Set the **X** position to **30**, **Y** to **40**, and **Width** to **55**.
3. For **Box horizontal alignment**, ensure the **Left** radio button is selected. It is selected by default.
4. For **Box vertical alignment**, ensure the **Top** radio button is selected. It is selected by default.
5. For **Overflow**, select the **Force line break** radio button.

1. Ensure that now you have a text available in the left-top aligned box. The **Y** position is a baseline for the first text line in the text box.
