Thank you for providing a good drawing tool.

How do I justify text such that the spaces between words and between are stretched or compressed in order to align both the left and right ends of consecutive lines of text?

My figure is a timeline that has numerous paragraphs of text and would look much better if the text in the text box could be justified so the text is flush to both the left and right sides

Hi DV thanks for your post. Unfortunately it's currently not possible to fully justify text in Lucidchart, although the is a centre alignment option in the Alignment options menu above your toolbar:
