Default centered and justified in the same paragraph

Hi,

I have a two column document, and the paragraghs are all justified. I would
like to have the last line of every paragragh be centered. I believe I can do
this with tabs, but since the document has two columns, how do I set the tabs?

Thanks in advance,
Dina

Use WordPerfect :-)

(Only joking - although it is much simpler in WordPerfect than Word)

The only way I know in Word is to put a hard return (paragraph end) at the
2nd last line, thus making the last line a separate paragraph which can then
be centred.

AFAIK adjusting tabs in Word affects the whole paragraph. (WordPerfect is
far more flexible; Word is rather brutish)

Set a centre tab, press Shift+Enter at the end of the preceding line and tab
the start of the next line.

If however you wish to centre across both columns then that will be rather
more complicated and probably easier to start with one column, centre the
last lines as described then select the remainder of each paragraph in turn
and apply two columns. I suspect that this would produce a document hard or
impossible to read, especially of you are going to centre to the page the
last lines of paragraphs in both columns.
