Default Word formatting

Copying text from a pdf file. The text in the pdf file always ends up at the
right side of the page. When I copy and paste the text, all the words are
correcr but the text does not go all the way to the right of each line. Here
is a sample of what I am having issues with.

This is a test of formatting in Word. All words are justified
to the left and all words line up exactly on the right side
also. (this is the pdf version)

I need each line to go to the end of the line and need the formatting to be
consistent on the right side of the page.

If you switch on the non-printing characters ΒΆ on the toolbar. you will
probably find that the pdf text when pasted into Word has a return at the end
of every line. If you delete these returns you should then be able to justify
the text in Word.
