Justifying Text
Most of the time when I select the fully justified button (left and right ie
fully blocked), it works how I want it to. It fully justifies all complete lines but only LEFT justifies part lines eg at the end of a paragraph. Occasionally, when I select the fully justified botton, as I type the second word of the line and it spreads out the text to the full width of the line. Of course as I type more text it eventually fills the line but part lines are spread out like this it spreads it all out. I am quite a reasonably profficient user of Word but I CAN'T work out how to change it. I'm going mad. PLEASE HELP ME I'M MELTING, I'M MELTING... |

I understand your pain. I was having trouble with justifying too, with spaces
between 1st and 2nd characters in words. You can try the solution I was given. Go to tools, options, click on compatibility, check box next to "do full justification like wordperfect 6.x for Windows. This worked for me. I am not too crazy about the way it justifies, but it does justify. This may work for you until someone else comes up with a better solution.

Either there is a line break in the line you're typing in (display
nonprinting characters to check) or you have inadvertently pressed Ctrl+Shift+J (Distribute Text) instead of Ctrl+J (Justify). -- Suzanne S.
