Justify mode is putting spaces between letters in individual word.
My coworker and I just got new computers with Microsoft Office Professional.
We are both having trouble justifying documents. The text is justified, but a few lines in each document look like they have been justified by putting spaces between letters of individual words, instead of between words themselves. It appears to be clustered on lines instead of here and there throughout the document. Any suggestions? This doesn't seem to be a "think-through" problem; I have no idea how to fix it. |

In some cases, deviant spacing is caused by a defective printer driver. But
it could also result from accidentally pressing Ctrl+Shift+J (Distribute Text) instead of Ctrl+J (Justify). Try selecting the paragraphs with problems and pressing Ctrl+J, or Ctrl+L and then Ctrl+J. If that doesn't help, then try changing printer drivers. -- Suzanne S.

We have two different printers, although same make. I tried justifying just the one line, both manually and with a toolbar button, and the line is now unjustified. Not only that, it won't re-justify. I changed a few words in another line of the document that was affected and it is now justified. It's just bizarre. |

Possibly the document is corrupt. See
