When you turn on full justification in Word it automatically adds extra space
to the spaces between words to make the different lines in the paragraph come
out the same length - giving a 'justified' look to the text.

Recently we had a document at work that was fully justified and had a lot of
nonbreaking spaces, and it was obvious that Word didn't adjust the latter.
The result was paragraphs with nonbreaking spaces stuck at normal size, and
other spaces huge. It looked funny.

Is there any way to tell Word to adjust nonbreaking spaces the same way it
adjusts normal ones when applying full justification to a paragraph?

No. And often this is a good reason for using them.
