Can I justify last line in a paragraph?
Hi everybody,
I have a justified paragraph that takes a few lines of my document (say 4 lines if you need a precise number). The paragraph ends with the paragraph mark (i.e. Enter). The standard behaviour of Word is to justify the complete lines of the paraghraph while the last one (that contains the paragraph mark) is right justified. This behaviour is the natural one if one is writing a document like a letter. But in my document I need to justify even the line with the paraghraph mark. I cannot use the "manual line break" (i.e. Shift + Enter) cause this symbol would join the paragraph with the next one, that might need to have a different alignment (e.g. centered) is it possible with Word? I'm currently using Word XP. Thanks Sergio Cortese SAPES S.p.A. |

You can insert a line break followed by a paragraph break and then format
the paragraph break as 1 pt. Or you can experiment with the Distribute Text command (Ctrl+Shift+J). -- Suzanne S.

Distribute text (i.e. Paragraph.Alignment = wdParagraphDistribute) works
nicely. Thanks a lot Sergio Cortese SAPES S.p.A. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" ha scritto nel messaggio ...

A possible disadvantage to Distribute Text is that it affects all the text
in the paragraph, not just the last line. -- Suzanne S.
