Post subject:  Left aligned text but right aligned to page
Hi all,
I'm not able to reproduce the layout shown in the picture (borders shown only for clarity). I have an address which must be left aligned, but it should be always aligned "as a frame" to the right of the page, e.g. its longest line must finish exactly at the right edge of the page. In the picture there are three examples; every address is left aligned but it starts at a different point.

Should I calculate exactly how long my text would be and then create a text frame or column with the calculated width? It seems too complicated, maybe I don't know some alignment options.

Thanks in advance,
David

That's the way to do it.
There is no "Auto" width with MigraDoc.

Thanks, so the only way is to include the TextMeasurement class you provided in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3196. Right?

That would be my approach.
Simple if there only is one style per line. Things will become more difficult if you mix several styles (e.g. regular and bold), different fonts or font sizes in one of those lines.
