Word does *not* justify the last line of a paragraph. If it is doing it for
you, that's because it isn't really the last line but instead ends in a line
break. Text pasted from the Web often has line breaks instead of paragraph
breaks. You can tell the difference if you display nonprinting characters.

well i am usually very good with word, but i tried every suggestion on
here
and none of them workd for me.

i think it's lovely that word help will tell you how to justify the last
line of a paragraph but they won't tell you how to un-justify it. if worse
comes to worse and you need to print out your document anyway, just do
what i
did: insert a bunch of periods on the last line until you're satisfied and
then color them white!

In some cases when I am justifying a paragraph, the last line is also
justified and if there are only a few words in the line, it looks very
strange with all of the spaces between the words.

However at other times, the last line is unjustified even though the
rest of
the paragraph is; so I know there is a way to keep the last line from
justifying but I have been unable to find the propertechnique to do it.
