maintain justification before line break
In older versions of Word, I could press SHIFT+ENTER to insert a line break
at the end of a line in a fully justified paragraph, and that line would remain fully justified. When I try that in Word 2007, a line break is inserted, but the preceding line becomes left justified. How can I add a line break at the end of a line and keep the full justification of that line? Thanks. |

Thanks. The Shift+Enter should work in Word 2007 just like in previous versions. It does work here. For troubleshooting, try these: - Try it in another document, and in a new blank document. If both of those work, your current document is corrupted in some way. Copy everything except the final paragraph mark and paste it into a blank document. - Start Word while holding down the Ctrl key to start in Safe Mode. Does Shift+Enter work now? - If the last step worked, try renaming Normal.dotm and restarting Word in regular mode. If not, try disabling any add-ins that are loaded to see if that helps. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Must have been an issue with the document. I copied it into a new document
and it worked fine. Thanks!

Or, before going overboard, go to Office Button | Word Options | Advanced.
Scroll all the way to the bottom, to the Compatibility Options, click the plus to open the Layout Options, and make sure that "Don't expand character spaces on a line that ends with SHIFT-RETURN" isn't checked. -- Suzanne S.
