        You don't have to actually highlight the paragraph. Just hit
alt+L while typing or move the cursor to the paragraph in question and
hit alt+l. Now for some reason, using the mouse to position the cursor
make alt+l not work so if you position with the mouse, just hit an
arrow key to move the cursor with the keyboard and then use the
shortcut.

        Exactly. Full control at all times.
