Justify
Word does not justify the last line of a paragraph. That means that either:
1. The last line it's justifying is not the last line of a paragraph. This can happen if the line ends with a line break instead of a paragraph break. Displaying nonprinting characters (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm) will make it easy to distinguish. 2. Instead of justifying the paragraph, you've "distributed" it, by accidentally pressing Ctrl+Shift+J instead of Ctrl+J. Note that Word doesn't always justify a line ending in a line break, either. You can opt not to (by checking the appropriate option on the Compatibility tab of Tools | Options) or you can insert a tab character before the line break. -- Suzanne S.

"JRD" wrote in message news Why when I use justify to format a paragraph does word put long spaces between the words if a short sentence is on the last line of a page. If the same short sentence is elsewhere on the page then word does not do this. John |
