justified text & table text wrapping
Basically... how can I make Word do Justified text without making some of the
lines being ugly? For example, if one of the lines consists of only 2 or 3 words, it will literally put one word at extreme left, another in the middle, and the other at the extreme right. Is there not a way to tell it to be "reasonable", as in putting them all neatly to the left if there is so little words in a given line? Also... I can't seem to insert a Table and wrap the text around it without severely messing up the paragraph. Closest I've got is to Insert the table (1x1), place my photo in it (with the description... Figure 1. blablabla), and then click the arrow thing at the top-left of the table when it is selected. This makes it positionable, and I "drag" it to where I want. Unfortunately, it always creates a space where the table was originally created, and when I attempt to delete this space, it for some reason thinks this space is part of the table. In other words... upon selecting the space, it also selected the entire table, regardless of where the table is in the document (it could be moved to the very beginning or end of the document, far away from this "space", yet I can't remove the space since deleting/backspacing it would simply delete the selected table along with it). Argh! Someone please help! |

justified text & table text wrapping
Generally, it's best not to justify very narrow columns for this reason.
Judicious use of hyphenation (manual) can alleviate the situation. You can also adjust the hyphenation zone if you're using automatic hyphenation. -- Suzanne S.
