Re: Text all to one side
If you turn on /View /non-printing characters, you will see that each short line is terminated with a backwards P (recte: a Pilcrow). if you delete a Pilcrow, you can replace it with a space; the lines will then align according to the paragraph alignment selected.
A quick way to do this is to use Find and Replace. In Find box enter \n. In Replace box enter \n (has a different meaning in the Replace box).
Correction: in Replace box enter a space. Sorry about the error - was distracted by call on my mobile when writing the above.
Drop "More Options" in Find and Replace, select "Regular expressions" from the dropdown, then press Replace All.
Until you know what you are doing, best to work on a copy file.

Re: Text all to one side
Pasting from a PDF often gives such result.
You can try that macro: Convert ASCII text files by deleting extra paragraph breaks.
It has been a long time since I've last used it. It may need some adjustments.
Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the 🖉 button if your issue has been fixed.

Re: Text all to one side
For best advice it is helpful to have a small (one/two page) sample file uploaded, rather than a screenshot.
