large spacing between words in justified paragraph
Hi, i'm having a problemw ith microsoft word 2000.
My paragrphs are justified and sometimes the last sentence in a paragraph will be stretched over the entire width of a page, even though the last sentence may only have a small number of words in it. Since there are a small number of words in the sentence and it's stretched over the entire width of the page, the spacing between the words is large. How do i fix this? Pressing enter at the end of the paragraph doesn't work. Thank you. |

Hi Jay,
I see no option for "full justification" in the format paragraph dialog. Is this accessible only by (Ctrl+Shift+J) or programmatically? Selection.Paragraphs(1).Alignment = wdAlignParagraphDistribute -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

Selection.Paragraphs(1).Alignment = wdAlignParagraphDistribute Yes, that's true. If you select text that's already full-justified and go into the Format Paragraph dialog, the alignment dropdown shows a blank entry. It looks like somebody at MS forgot to fill the list completely. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Hi I tried highlighting the last setence and the entire last paragraph
and pressing ctrl+shift+j, but nothing happened. I tried tried ctrl+j, and nothign happened either. If i left justify the last line the entire paragrph becomes left justified so that solution's out. Any other suggestions? Thanks. |

I'm a little surprised that Ctrl+J didn't change anything. Click the ¶ button on the toolbar to show the nonprinting characters. Is there anything between the last character on the last line of the paragraph and the paragraph mark (which looks like the symbol on the button)? Maybe an arrow pointing to the left, which is a line break? If so, select it and delete it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Whatever you use is applied to an entire paragraph, you can't 'mix' left, right, centered & justified in the same paragraph. What happens if you reformat the para _left_, then reformat it _justified_? Regards |:) Any other suggestions? Thanks. |
