My customer wants every page as full as possible in his book. After hunting
around I discovered Vertical Alignment - Justified and thought I'd solved the
problem. The snag is that the last page of the chapter/section is also
vertically justified, with some pretty strange results depending on how full
the page is. Is there a way to tell Word not to vertically justify the last
page of a section?

The pages will be full as possible if you leave the vertical alignment set
at Top and avoid using paragraphs that are formatted to have a Page break
before them, or Keep with next or Keep lines together and probably also
uncheck the Widow/Orphan control box as well so that all of the boxes are
unchecked in the Pagination section of the Line and Page Breaks tab of the
Format Paragraph dialog.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, no. Word's Vertical Alignment feature is far from flawless.
I'd always choose "Top" for Vertical Alignment.

It never hurts to make clients aware of the limitations of the software
they're requiring you to use!
