This doesn't make sense to me at all. Left, Center, and Right Justified describes how the alignment of the line is. How can a line be aligned 3 ways simultaneously? Perhaps you mean to have a 3-column section where each column has separate alignment?
If you'd ever used this capability in WordPerfect, it'd make sense to you. In Reveal Codes, it'd look something like this:
Left Text Here[CntrJust]Center Text Here[RghtJust]Right Text Here and it'd print on paper (or screen) like: Left Text Here Center Text Here Right Text Here (only it'd line up properly).It beats having to turn on columns and then hide the column lines and then turn off columns to resume normal text, or to use tables.

But that's just it; I need to be able to control the _exact_ appearance of each letter. WP could adjust leading and kerning and everything. It's just a solid workhorse that I just haven't found in the open source world.
