Default Switching form left to full justification in bulletted text

Seems as if you have a line break (Shift+Enter) character in each of
the affected paragraphs. If you are using the line break to add
un-bulleted text between bullets, you may not want to remove it.
Instead, you can check the "Don't expand character spaces on the line
ending Shift-Return" option in Tools | Options, Compatibility tab.

Note that you can click the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to see
nonprinting characters. For more, see

Hi,

I sometimes need to switch from left to full justification in a
bulletted text.

The problem is, in some case, the last line of a paragraph becomes

for
instance:
__________________________________________________ ____________
"the problem is not solved".
__________________________________________________ ____________

I have tried to find what causes this behavior, which I suspect is
related to the bullet formatting since I have never encountered the

same
problem in other cases.

To correct this, I must go to the end of the paragraph, enter two

hard
returns and moving the cursor between the two paragraphs, hit Delete

twice.

This is obviously cumbersome on a long document. Any ideas how to
correct this in a more astute manner?

Thanks
