Justifying text in the cover letter

Post by templateuser »

Thanks for these templates. I am using the banking style for a cover letter. I would like the text to be justified. I went to moderncvstylebanking.sty and took out \raggedright from line 280, but rather than making the text justified, it aligned it to the right (i.e., switched it to \raggedleft). How can I justify the text? Thanks!

Hi,

When I changed the style of the template to banking and commented out line 280 of moderncvstylebanking.sty the text in the cover letter was justified. Are you sure you didn’t specify \raggedleft somewhere else in the document which is carrying over to the cover letter? Try downloading the template again and making the change to determine if it’s the template or something you’ve done in your version.

Cheers,

Hm. Not sure what was going wrong before, but now it is justified when I take \raggedright out. Thanks for the templates and the prompt response!
