Fo some reason, the forum search returns 0 results to me no matter what I enter.  I'm sure this has been asked before, but how to I change the alignment of point text to center?

Even though it's point text it's treated the same as area text. The following works

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

var textRef = docRef.textFrames[0];

//textRef.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 28;

var paraAttr_0 = textRef.paragraphs[0].paragraphAttributes;


paraAttr_0.justification = Justification.CENTER;
