How do I line up text using "justify" within a table
I'm creating an e-newsletter in which I have to use tables instead of columns
since columns appear spread out within an email inbox and use their formatting. The problem I'm having is that I cannot get the text to line up within the table columns when using "justify." Most of the text lines up correctly, except for the text on the last row of the first column. I wind up with more words than space, which pushes the table to the next page. When I cut the additional text and place it on the next column (or retype it), I wind up with an uneven margin for the last line because when I take away some of the text to even everything out, the last line's formatting changes. For instance, each line may contain five words all lined up - justified, but the last line contains a longer word that cannot be hyphenated properly. When I cut that word, to move it to another column, the line that the word was originally in is left mostly blank. That doesn't look good if it's the middle of a sentence. Any help will be appreciated. I have Word 2003. I'm sorry that this is so long. |

Press CTRL+SHIFT+J in the paragraph with the short last line.

Thanks, that helped with some lines but not all. Maybe my formatting is
incorrect. "Cliff" wrote: Press CTRL+SHIFT+J in the paragraph with the short last line. "Toody" wrote in message ...
