When text justified words go to opposite margin
I have a similar problem as describedby Ben444 regarding Cntrl+J and
Cntrl+Shift+J, except that his problem was that the letters get distributed. My problem keeps the letters together and does not distribute, but instead starts from the right margin and words type move to the left. It seems to be just on sentences, not the whole document |

When text justified words go to opposite margin
Does Ctrl+Q (which removes direct paragraph formatting) help? If not:
Have you tried removing any left-to-right languages in Office Language Settings?

When text justified words go to opposite margin
Thank you for your reply. I tried Ctrl+A and nothing happended.
I checked on the settings and the default is US English. Note that it just does it on some lines, like the last line of a paragraph, but not every paragraph. Sometimes you will type a word then hit space, the curser then goes to the right margin and the text will distribute the words across the page evenly (not the letters) Hitting enter removes the problem for the last sentence. It seems to only do it on justified. here is a stand alone sentence, for example: A more technical note: A reader writes this: A is on left margin and : is on the right margin... and the words are distributed evenly, with big spaces between. It does this on Word 2003 and 2007. Don't upgrade, I see nothing different except they have made the commands harder to see the menu and to figure out. MicroHard misleads again. for example Thank you. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Does Ctrl+Q (which removes direct paragraph formatting) help?

of Justify (Ctrl+J). Try pressing Ctrl+J or Ctrl+L. -- Suzanne S.

When text justified words go to opposite margin
Thank you for the reply. When I use contrl+shift+j on the line, it
distributes the Letters. But mine distributes the words. In other words the letters remain together but the words are streched out. And it is only the last sentence of paragraph, when the paragraph ends before getting to the right margin. Now control+J ends problem, but it is already in control+j mode. that is, the paragraphs are justified except for the last sentence. Not ragged right or left justified. Control+J, aswell as enter, fixes the line, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. It does not happen to "Suzanne S.

Sorry, it does ragged right and left justify when I use Control+J. Its when
it is the Control+J mode that the last sentence goes distributed. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: It sounds as if someone used the Distribute command (Ctrl+Shift+J) instead of Justify (Ctrl+J).

More information.
By clicking on the ¶ symbol, I found that what ends the the last sentence of a paragraph is ot ¶ but is instead a symbol I have not seen before. It looks like a backward "L" with an arrow on the base pointing to the left. Something like this: ___| What is this?

SOLVED
What is happening is on some document instead of hitting enter they are
entering shift+enter, which ends the line and the words get spread. enter is the proper entry. thank you. "Suzanne S.

When text justified words go to opposite margin
I was going to suggest that your last line probably ended in a line break
instead of a paragraph break. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. Word will justify any line ending in a soft break or a line break, though there is a Compatibility Option "Don't expand character spaces on the line ending Shift-Return." Enabling this option would solve your problem, but the more usual solution would be to substitute a paragraph break. -- Suzanne S.

Note continuous break placed..
I note that if a continuous break is placed after the last line in a
justified paragraph is inserted, then the words are evenly distributed across this last line. An enter keystroke corrects then fixes this. |

Any kind of section break should always be preceded by a paragraph break.
Recent versions of Word usually do this automatically. -- Suzanne S.
