Text won't stay "Fully Justified"
I'm writting a booklet, and it will be "TWO UP" on an 8.5 x 11 page. It has
two columns, and the text on the top half of the page is repeated on the bottom half of the page, so when I print it, I can cut it in half, making each page 8.5 x 5.5, allowing me to fold it in half the other way, making the finished side 4.25 x 5.5. Here's my problem. I'm using full justification in both the left column and the right column so that Word will spread each line out to fill from the left margin of the column all the way to the right margin of the column. This works everywhere expect on the last line (either on the top half of the page or on the bottom half of the page) where the paragraph continues to the next column. This last line reverts to Left Justify rather than staying as full justify because I've inserted a "return" following the word where I want to end for that page. To further complicate matters, I want the next line to be an empty line (and I've reduced the font for this line to 2 pt, so there will be a very small amount of white space) and then the next line is back to 10pt (same as the rest of the body) so I can put in the page number, either on the left edge or tabbed over to the right edge. How can I force this short line to remain fully justified when Word wants to let it revert to left justify because of the inseted "Return"? Is there something other than "Return" that I can use to end the line that will allow it to display fully justified? |

Insert a line break - hold down Shift Key and press Return.
Hope this is useful. -- Rae Drysdale "scfosdick" wrote: I'm writting a booklet, and it will be "TWO UP" on an 8.5 x 11 page.

Have you tried using more spaces between your words to "fill up" the line? I
believe by inserting a manual return you are telling Word that's where you want the line to end. "scfosdick" wrote: I'm writting a booklet, and it will be "TWO UP" on an 8.5 x 11 page.

Shift Enter seems to be working. It won't let me have the next line at 2 pt
without changing the format of the whole paragraph, but I can live with the extra white space before the page number. I also found that I can use a "text wrapping break", which is very similar to the line break. "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Insert a line break - hold down Shift Key and press Return.
