I was not being ironic. Of course I believe that every person who works for
Microsoft, or is tangentially related to them in any way, can just walk
into
the richest person on the planet's office and ask him about some obscure
issue with one of the products produced by the company that he doesn't
really
run any more.

just like to point out that MVPs was *awarded* by Microsoft, but we don't
work for Microsoft.

Agreed.

Could you drop by Bill's office and point this out to him?

Thanx!

But it works fine in my US English version of Word 2007.

Well, the keyboard shortcut works, but not the dialog box.

So the features is in, and works in, US Enlgish Office 2007, (via
the
keyboard shortcut), but it is not documented (AFAIK), and it doesn't
work
via
the dialog boxes.

Very very strange Microsoft-like behavior!!!

Ctrl+Shift+J is assigned to the DistributePara command; it is used

Asian languages. See for example

Just do a search on Google for -- Word 2007 Distributed paragraph
alignment
-- or something similar.

If you do a normal Justified paragraph, the last line will
normally
NOT
be
justified.

But if you hit CTRL-SHIFT-J, then the last line WILL be
justified.

If I go to my Word 2007 Paragraph options - Indents and
Spacing -
General
- Alignment, there is NOT an option for Distributed.

But if I have already chosen Distributed via the keyboard
shortcut,
then
the
Alignmnent option shows as blank.

This appears to be a hidden feature of Word 2007! I cannot find
anything
about it in any Microsoft help, either within Word on online.

Any ideas why this would be??
