MS Word 2003, extra space is added between words when a paragraph is
justified. i want to get rid of it without switching to left or right align
paragraph.

Any ideas??

That's the way justification works. If there is too much space, then try
hyphenating some words.

There's one more thing you can try... Go to Tools Options
Compatibility and check the option "Do full justification like
WordPerfect 6.x for Windows".

Word's default justification algorithm only expands spaces to justify
lines. The WordPerfect algorithm first tries to compress them
slightly, and pushes the last word to the next line only if
compression can't make it fit. This often results in better looking
text, especially in fairly wide text columns.

Hi T-B,

The space that gets added is designed into the Font sets to be within the
standards established by the typesetting industry. It _has_ to be there in
order to space the text correctly & provide flush left & right alignment...
that's what 'Justified' is.

If you are not pleased with the effect justification has, you might want to
make minor adjustments to your margins and/or use a different font. There
are adjustments that can be made but if applied on a large scale basis the
appearance will probably be far worse rather than better.

BTW- don't judge the flow of your text by what you see on screen. Most
displays can't 'draw' the characters where they are supposed to be as
accurately as a printer can!

HTH |:)
