Default Justification problem

Suzanne, what in the world would I do without you! I read every word you
write.

Thanks a million.

This is addressed in one of the Caveats in my article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/RunInSidehead.htm. When you use a style
separator (or hidden paragraph) to create a run-in side head, "If your Body
Text style is justified, your heading style must also be justified, or else
the first line of your paragraph will not be justified."

I came across a document to edit today at work that has me puzzled.

There are instances in certain paragraphs when all of the lines on the
right
are justified except the very first line.

That happens when the last two words on the first line are a short word
followed by a long word; i.e., "the documentation." At all other times,
that
has never been a problem. Word just handles it.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that at the beginning
of the troublesome first line in each such paragraph there is a heading
followed by a style separator for purposes of the TOC.

What on earth could be the problem? I absolutely love and learn from your
discussion group every day! Thanks you!
