Preview text box extending in the wrong direction.

In PREVIEW, using 'text' box to add text to a landscape page, the text box extends (left) the wrong way; how do i get it to extend AUTOMATICALLY to the right as I am typing?

The text box in Preview is fixed until you drag the left or right grip on the text box to enlarge it horizontally. The text simply wraps within the existing box size and expands the box downward.


Text will advance left in the text box when you have set the alignment in the Aa markup tool to right, and will advance right-ward when that alignment setting is left.
