It sounds like your paragraph is ended with a manual line break (Shift +
Enter). If you click on the Show/hide button, it will show what is at the
end of the line as a kind of arrow rather than a standard paragraph mark (or
hard carriage return). If you have a document full of these, you can
Find/replace (What what: ^l, Replace with ^p).

sI cannot get the last line in a justified paragraph to align to the left. I
have seen a number of posts that say to use CNTRL + J to justify and CNTRL +
SHIFT + J to distribute, but that does NOT fix the problem. The former keeps
the last line justified (separated by words) and the latter does also (each
letter is separated). I just want the words in the last line to align to the
left.

Pushing ENTER on my numeric keypad does work, but there has got to be an
easier way to ensure I don't have to keep doing that.
