MS Word - Justified text reported as "default" text alignment #15220

@CyrilleB79

Description

@CyrilleB79

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open a document in MS Word
  • In Word options, format the current paragraph as "justified"
  • Press NVDA+F twice

Note: being on Windows 10, NVDA uses legacy object model to access Word documents by default, not UIA.

Actual behavior:

"align default" is reported in formatting information.

Expected behavior:

"align justify" should be reported in formatting information.

Indeed, "default" does not give any useful information; moreover, at least on my system, the default alignment for paragraphs in Word is "left", not "justify".
