Alignment does not show up in the properties window

Please look in the Font section of the Content Properties.

Hi, I just installed the latest RH 2020 update, to 4.173, I also cannot find the Alignment.  It seems to be gone.  Prior to this, I just selected the OL or LI tag in the breadcrumbs and could align things that way.  I no longer see that option in the right-hand menu.  I can't even recall where it was since I'm so new to RH 2020.  Did Adobe move or remove it?  Thanks.

If you look at the tag hierarchy breadcrumbs in the top left of your screenshot, you can see that your cursor is inside a span tag. Span is an inline element, rather than a block element, so can't be aligned (imagine trying to align one word in the middle of a paragraph, rather than aligning the whole paragraph).

What you can do is click on the p tag in those breadcrumbs to select the paragraph, then the Alignment section will show up. You can also click outside to span, but sometimes that's impossible, depending on where the span tags are - so using the breadcrumbs is your best bet, in my opinion.

To view the ruler, click the View menu. 

To see where to change alignment you need to expand the menu options you see on the right. They cannot differ between old and new content so I'm still not sure on what you are seeing there.

I'm not clear what you are saying here. I think by "alignment option" you mean the ruler. 

Then do you mean the ruler in 2020 only works for new content, not upgraded content?

A screenshot might help. Please use the photo icon to insert images within the post. Some supporters will not open attachments for security reasons and if you do download, you are then not seeing the image inline with the text. Then thanks to a quirk of this forum you have to close the thread and reopen it before you can reply. Crazy but that's the way it is.
