Default maintain justification before line break

Must have been an issue with the document. I copied it into a new document
and it worked fine. Thanks!

In older versions of Word, I could press SHIFT+ENTER to insert a line break
at the end of a line in a fully justified paragraph, and that line would
remain fully justified. When I try that in Word 2007, a line break is
inserted, but the preceding line becomes left justified. How can I add a
line break at the end of a line and keep the full justification of that line?
Thanks.


The Shift+Enter should work in Word 2007 just like in previous versions. It does
work here.

For troubleshooting, try these:

- Try it in another document, and in a new blank document. If both of those
work, your current document is corrupted in some way. Copy everything except the
final paragraph mark and paste it into a blank document.

- Start Word while holding down the Ctrl key to start in Safe Mode. Does
Shift+Enter work now?

- If the last step worked, try renaming Normal.dotm and restarting Word in
regular mode. If not, try disabling any add-ins that are loaded to see if that
helps.
