using( FileStream file = new FileStream( @"..\..\TextFormatting.pdf", FileMode.Create,
 FileAccess.Write ) )
    {
    Document document = new Document();
    Section section = document.Sections.Add();
    section.PageSize = PageSize.A4;

    TextParagraph textParagraph;

    // Just display the dummy text without setting any additional properties
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( "TextParagraph with default properties:" ) );
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( text, System.Drawing.Color.Blue ) );

    // Set alignment to right
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( "textParagraph.HorizontalAlignment = "+
"HorizontalAlignment.Right" ) );
    textParagraph = CreateTextParagraph( text, System.Drawing.Color.Blue );
    textParagraph.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
    section.Paragraphs.Add( textParagraph );

    // Set alignment to center
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( "textParagraph.HorizontalAlignment = "+
"HorizontalAlignment.Center" ) );
    textParagraph = CreateTextParagraph( text, System.Drawing.Color.Blue );
    textParagraph.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
    section.Paragraphs.Add( textParagraph );

    // Display the textparagraph justified
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( "textParagraph.Justified = true" ) );
    textParagraph = CreateTextParagraph( text, System.Drawing.Color.Blue );
    textParagraph.Justified = true;
    section.Paragraphs.Add( textParagraph );

    // Set linespacing
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( "textParagraph.LineSpacing = 5" ) );
    textParagraph = CreateTextParagraph( text, System.Drawing.Color.Blue );
    textParagraph.LineSpacing = 5;
    section.Paragraphs.Add( textParagraph );

    // Use First Line indentation
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( "textParagraph.FirstLineIndentation = 20" ) );
    textParagraph = CreateTextParagraph( text, System.Drawing.Color.Blue );
    textParagraph.FirstLineIndentation = 20;
    section.Paragraphs.Add( textParagraph );

    // Use hang indentation
    section.Paragraphs.Add( CreateTextParagraph( "textParagraph.HangIndentation = 20" ) );
    textParagraph = CreateTextParagraph( text, System.Drawing.Color.Blue );
