Default Is full justification available in Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007? Wh

Look under Format, Paragraph, Alignment, choose Justified.
Hyphenation is under Tools, Language, Hyphenation.
Try the Word Help for further information. That is the limit of Word's
built-in justification capabilites, if you require further exactitude you
probably need a publishing package, maybe Publisher?
Hope this helps

"Full Justification" is a typographical standard which results in all lines
having exactly the same length. For a definition, see for instance Wikipedia.
I have Word 2003 and I cannot find how to produce full justification. There
are actually two kinds: (1) without hyphenation of some of the words at the
ends of the lines, and (2) with hyphenation. The second kind is capable of
producing essentially perfect justification. It is used in TeX, LaTex, and
all good newspapers. There are no ragged edges on the right side at all!
