Whenever I put up new card on ankidroid, it always center-aligned. I need it Left-aligned, how to do it?

Must I do it one by one?

This kind of styling is controlled with [CSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS), and more specifically the [text-align](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-align) attribute.

Go in _Browser_, select a card, scroll down, click on _Cards: Card 1, …_, then on _CSS_ at the bottom right. Some code should be already present, don’t overwrite it, just add your own at the bottom. You have to do this for every note **type** , not for every note.

If you’re wondering which CSS to add, you could set the text-align property like this:

```auto
.card {
  text-align: left;
}

```

It will be set to `center` by default. Just change it to `left` (or `start`):
