Whenever I highlight text and change the alignment, the entire document changes to the new alignment, how do I change this so only the highlighted text re-aligns?
Pages-OTHER, iOS 5.1.1
Are you using paragraph styles? Styles are a very useful element in Pages. Chapter 6 in the Pages User Guide explains.
Even with paragpraph styles off, the issue persists.
You might try asking in the iOS discussion area. Not many of us here have experience witth the iOS version of the app.

My bad, I'm working with the Mac OS version, not the iOS version.
Is your entire document one paragraph? That is the only way I can imagine the entire document changing when one paragraph's alignment is changed.
Are you sure that the Paragraph markers aren't just Line Feeds?
Jerry
It seems to be acting as one paragraph, how would I disable that?
There is no way to turn styles off. Every paragraph has a style, even if it's the generic "Free Form." Show the styles drawer from the View menu & highlight some text & then see what style is highlighted.
Drew,
Placing the text insertion cursor at the end of a paragraph and hitting the Return key will insert a paragraph break. I'm guessing that you copied this text from the web.

That seems to be the issue, I just erased everything and stared over with the "free form" checked and it's working. Thank you both!
