What, you're not showing messages back two years ...? :-)

Gwynne, the Compatibility option suggested by Jay works wonders IMHO.
It's a different algorithm than the standard "fill up line as long as
possible, then expand the spaces" approach. But of course it has its
limits and, AFAICT, does not take the surrinding lines into account (as,
for instance, the TeX justification algorithm seems to be doing).

As a rule of thumb, the shorter your lines are, the more problematic
justification becomes. Especially when dealing with very long words, you
need to hyphenate (manually if you can afford to).

2cents
