why last sentence in justified paragraph extends to far right?
The command in question is represented in the Undo list as "Distribute
Para," but I cannot find this anywhere in the All Commands list in Tools | Customize, so I can't guess at a VBA equivalent (and there seems to be no way to add it to a menu or toolbar). Perhaps someone else can help? I would guess it is very likely a command associated with complex scripts or Asian languages or some such; it may be that if you enable those, you would be able to find it. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, This distribute (force-justify) functionality is exactly what I need for a Word document I am working on. I have lines of text I need to force justify, but I cannot use Shift-Enter as it messes up my line count. This functionality is not described in Word help or in any other documentation I can find. Admittedly, I'm not into Visual Basic programming so maybe that's where it comes from. How did you find out about this? Where can I find more documentation? Is Control-Shift-J the only way to apply it outside of Visual Basic? Can it be applied from the default Word menus? I'm using Word 2003. Major "Suzanne S.

Is the paragraph terminated with a normal paragraph mark (Enter) or with a new line character (Shift+Enter)? If it's not a normal paragraph mark, that's likely to be the problem. Put the cursor at the end of the paragraph and press Enter. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Daveybau" wrote in message ... The paragraph is formatted to align "justified". The last sentence in the paragraph has only three words. The three words are equally spaced so that the last word is lined up to the far right of the document. How do I correct this problem? |
