Force justify text
I tried to use Shift+Enter to start a new line in justified text so that the
words on the line will spread out to fill the line, but it didn't work. Can someone please help? Thanks! jenny |

If you have more than two words on the line where you hit SHIFT-Enter and you are really using a Justified alignment, then Word should have spread the words to fill the line. If it did not, then there is something wrong in your set-up or the last character on that line is a TAB, which prevents the spreading of the line... By the way, for future reference, I must say that "it didn't work" is the most common useless explanation we see in the groups. It is better to describe observed results and compare that to expected behaviour. You described the behaviour you wanted, but not what actually happend when you tried it. Also, especially because Word 2007 is so different from all other versions, it is always useful to state the Word version you are using. |

In Tools | Options | Compatibility, make sure that "Don't expand characters
on the line ending Shift-Return" is not checked. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Civil jenny" wrote in message ...

I wonder how people who do not know about them end up changing them? If I remember correctly, this particular option is never checked by default, is it? If it is not, how can it be changed without a user knowintg about it? |

I don't know. Compatibility Options settings are document-specific, so I
suppose if you were working with a document someone else had prepared, you might not be aware of the settings. -- Suzanne S.
