Default why last sentence in justified paragraph extends to far right?

And it that's not the problem, then it could be that the OP (or someone)
pressed Ctrl+Shift+J (Distribute Text) instead of Ctrl+J (Justify).

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.

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?
