Default Word 2007 - Justifies text before hitting return

Press Ctrl+L and see if that solves the problem. If so, it may be that your
default paragraph has somehow gotten formatted as "Distributed" (though if
that were the case you'd probably see spaces between letters and not just
words). In any case, you need to figure out whether Normal style has been
modified (in which case you can correct it and save the changes to the
template) or just the default paragraph in a new document (in which case
you'll have to open Normal.dotm itself and correct the problem).

Hi,

I have a problem with this annoyance. As soon as I start typing Word will
justify the text. So, for example, if I want to write "I like red apples."
I
will first type "I " and then after I type "l" the cursor will jump to the
rightmost position:

|I l_|

I will then have fully justified "I like". The same will be with all
following words, the cursor will stay close to the right margin justifying
text all the time:

|I like r_|

...

|I like red apples._|

As the sentence is shorter than a full line, after I press enter the
justification will disappear:

|I like red apples. |
|_ |

How to disable that behaviour? I want the text to be justified after no
more
words fit withing a line, not right away.
