[Athen] Left-aligned vs justified text

[Susan Kelmer]

Just say no to justified text.  If it has to be converted to something else (say, PDF to Word), the result is disastrous.  Left-justified should be your go to.

Hi -

Can anybody tell me, for certain, whether there are accessibility standards regarding making text left-aligned instead of justified, in both web pages and electronic documents such as Word and PDF?

thanks!
Chris
