How does one type an address on the R/H side of a Microsoft Word document, so that the L/H end of the address is all in line?
When I have entered this address I wish to revert back to normal ie L/H of document, to type another address and the rest of the letter.

Make sure you aren't on right justification (You probably aren't unless you've changed it). Write the adress as usual (It will still be on the left at this point). Select only the lines with the adress on, and drag the tabs over to the right to move the start point of the adress text. If you don't know where the tabs are, look at the area just above the "paper", you will see a horizontal ruler, there are little upward and downward pointing symbols which look a bit like triangles. You need to move the top one of these.

AOG. the easiest way is just to use the indent tab, until you reach the place you wish to start typing the address.
Then go to the next line tab across and type next line of address. Repeat until you have finished your address.
Move down to next line, and you are where you need to type the address of the person who is to receive the letter.
This is so much easier, and you don't have to fiddle about changing things. Schutz

If you want to have two addresses at the top of the letter, with the left hand one *left aligned* and the right hand one *right aligned*, you'd find it easier to create a table with two columns and as many rows as you need (Table/Insert/Table). Highlight one of the columns by hovering your cursor above the column until you see a thick black arrow, click once and that column should turn black, then click on Format/Borders & Shading/Borders, then click on none. This will hide the border around the cells of the table. Then click on the *align left* button (or do it through Format/Paragraph/Indents & Spacing/left alignment). Repeat for the other column but make this right aligned this time.
When you type in the addresses you will find that the left hand side one is left aligned and the right hand one is right aligned.
To move between the cells of the table, just press the tab key (it's the one with dual horizontal arrows, to the left of the letter Q). If you want to increase the table by one or more rows, just click in the last cell and then press the tab key... this will add another row below.
After you have inserted your addresses, just click below the table and you should find that you are back in left align mode.

Check your justification if it is right or left. It is in the top panel of Microsoft word.

Try to adjust the justification either to the left or right.
