Paragraph "Justify" Problem
I have a problem when I Justify a paragraph. The last line always aligns
evenly, even with just 2 words and makes it looked over stretch. It happens to some paragraphs while others Justify correctly, leaving the last line as it should be. Is there a Justify setting I need to tweak or correct? Example: Mary had a little lamb. Little lamb. |

Paragraph "Justify" Problem
If you click on the Show/Hide ¶ button, you will see that the "last" line of
the paragraph that exhibits the problem is not actually the last line of the paragraph as it is not terminated with a pilcrow ¶. Rather, you have used Shift+Enter to create a new line. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

Paragraph "Justify" Problem
The other possibility is that the paragraph has "full justification"
applied with Ctrl+Shift+J. If the paragraph does end with a pilcrow and not an arrow, try instead pressing Ctrl+J for "justification". -- Regards, 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.
