Return Value
If retrieving the current text justification, a value between 0 and 2 depicting the type of justification used. If applying justification, 0 (zero) if successful. In both cases, an error is returned if unsuccessful. If values are out of range on writing to the attribute, the function will exit and report the error E_INVALIDARG. If there is no active text object, these functions throw an exception with a return value of E_HANDLE.
