prevent last line from spreading across page in full justificatio.
In some documents, when I fully justify the document, the last line of the
paragraphs spreads out across the page and looks ridiculous. This does not occur in other documents. How do I prevent this? |

This indicates that your "paragraph" is ending with a line break
(Shift+Enter) rather than a paragraph break (Enter). Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+Shift+8) to verify this. -- Suzanne S.

Select the text and press Ctrl+J to apply "justification". Do NOT press
Ctrl+Shift+J to applly "full justification", which also justifies the last (or only) line of the paragraph. -- Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Version of Word? In Word2007, there are a whole lot of extra
justification settings, in the Home tab of the Ribbon. Alongside Left, Center, and Right alignment, where you'd think the Justified button would be, is a dropdown that offers you regular justification pluse things labeled "low," "medium," and "high," and if they're explained in Help, I haven't been able to find where. Finally, to the right of _that_ button, there's _another_ button, called "Distributed," which does what you're describing. (I don't think those last four options are found in Word2003.)

Ah, I missed the implication of "fully." I started to mention Ctrl+Shift+J,
but it's so rare that anyone actually runs across that that I decided not to muddy the waters, especially since the OP can't see my reply, anyway. -- Suzanne S.

I don't have those options on the Home tab in Word 2007 (I have the usual
Justified button). I imagine they are available on the Ribbon only if you have Asian languages enabled. There is a Distribute Text command in Word 2003 and earlier (with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+J, so it may well be that the OP has inadvertently triggered that). -- Suzanne S.

Wow, those Japanese engineers sure were industrious. But it would be
nice if they'd given us their Help files, though. Also, "Distributed" uses letterspacing within words on the non-last lines. I think somewhere I sat an option to Never allow spacing within words to improve justification (or maybe that was in FrameMaker), and if so, Distributed doesn't pay attention to it.

I think somewhere I sat an option to Never allow spacing within
words to improve justification (or maybe that was in FrameMaker), and if so, Distributed doesn't pay attention to it. If you set such an option, it would likely be in the Compatibility Options somewhere, but it more likely was in FrameMaker. -- Suzanne S.
