justify the last line of text before a figure in microsoft word 20
How do I justify the last line of text before a figure in microsoft word
2003. For example say I have a figure i want on page 3, i want the text to skip through to page 4 and the last line to be justified on page 3. At the moment, the only way i can seem to keep the figure anchored on page 3 is to press enter, which causes the text on the last line of page 2 not to be justified. Please help, this is driving me crazy. |

Yes, this is tricky. You have to insert a line break to force-justify the
last line, then format the next line (paragraph mark) as 1 point or (if that doesn't suffice) Hidden. If your paragraph style has a first-line indent, don't forget to use an unindented style for the first paragraph on the page following the figure so that the illusion of a broken paragraph is preserved. -- Suzanne S.

justify the last line of text before a figure in microsoft wor
Thanks Suzanne, I think that would work, but surely there is a better way to
anchor the picture to that page, because it's going to be a lot of stuffing around every time my supervisor makes changes to the text above the figure. But with regard to your suggestion, when I try this, it formats the paragraph before the line break as 1pt. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Yes, this is tricky.

This is why I never bother trying to put figures in until editing is
complete. In order to accomplish the 1-pt. (or Hidden) formatting without affecting the entire paragraph, you must display nonprinting characters and select only the line break character. -- Suzanne S.
