Hi guys,

I'm in desparate need of your help and guidance in solving what has become the most annoying thing ever!!

I'm writing up using word 2007. I always justify my work because I think it looks neater. But, I'm having a slight issue. For some of my paragraphs, the last line stretches accross the whole page, when it really doesn't need to. Especially if the last line is only 2 words long. It looks ridiculous. I don't know how to unjustify the last line only without the whole paragraph being aligned to the left. It is usually fine and does this itself but for a couple of paragraphs (particularly those followed by a diagram or table), the last line is also justified, so it looks like this:

I (loads of space) need (loads of space) your (loads of space) help. (end of line aligned to the right)

(sorry for stuff in brackets - when I posted the thread it aligned the above to the left, and took out all my spaces)


I don't know how to change it. Help needed if possible!! :-s

hi there

I duno why this happens sometimes, and i don't know how to fix it properly, but what i do is just highlight the line that stretches and left justify that, leaving the rest of the paragraph justified! not the right way to do it i suppose but it might work ok for you!

I've tried that but it just unjustifies the whole paragraph, not just the hilighted line! Argggghhh. It's doing my head in. Stupid computers!

a really convoluted way around it might be to do section breaks. I hate word sometimes - but not enough to go over to a Mac

Hi,

I think I managed to fix this by pressing enter at the end of the last line again last time word decided to be awkward! Not sure how to stop it happening in the first place though.
