Default Justify entire paragraph (not just the last line) in Word 2003

The normal practice is to use enter to complete the paragraph which will
produce a short lines. There is no automatic way to juggle the lines as you
have in mind.

Hi,



I know that I can use Shift-Enter to justify the last line in a
paragraph. However, this only stretches the last line over the
available horizontal space, like this:



This is just an example paragraph. It is intended

to illustrate the justification problem I am

asking about above.



This, of course, is of little use, as it causes unreasonably ugly
spacing on the last line.



I would instead like to have text moved from previous lines to
subsequent ones, in order to justify the entire paragraph as neatly
as possible, as in either of these examples:



This is just an example paragraph. It is

intended to illustrate the justification

problem I am asking about above.

Can this be done automatically? I use Word 2003.
