how to reverse the shift+enter justify option for the last line?
The last line of a para when using shift+enter looks awkward with too long
spacing between words. How to reverse this? the shift+enter again is not working. |

how to reverse the shift+enter justify option for the last line?
To terminate a paragraph, use Enter, not Shift+Enter.
To undo the result of using Shift+Enter, use the Backspace key to delete the end of line character that was inserted by the use of Shift+Enter. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

Hi punitha,
To prevent the justification, you could insert a tab as the last character on the line. A better approach, though, is to go to Tools|Options|Compatibility and check the 'Don't expand character on the line ending Shift-Return' option (Word 97-2003) or the equivalent option in Word 2007. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "punitha" wrote in message ...

Those are certainly reasons for using line breaks but not a justification
for using a line break to end a paragraph. In most cases where line breaks are required (poetry, address blocks), presumably one would not be using Justified alignment in the first place. For the occasional override, I prefer the solution of adding a tab character rather than changing the Compatibility Options setting, which affects all justified paragraphs (and occasionally you want the last line of a paragraph to be justified to create the appearance of a continuous paragraph broken over pages, interrupted by a full-page graphic). -- Suzanne S.

He didn't ask about ending a paragraph (which wouldn't work anyway!),
but only what Shift-Enter is good for. On Jan 25, 10:26*am, "Suzanne S.
