PUB98: How to Justify a Single Line (191439)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q191439 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Publisher does not justify the last line in a paragraph.
In addition, if you have only a single line of text in a text frame,
Publisher does not justify that single line.
CAUSE
Publisher is designed to justify all lines of text in a paragraph except
the last line or a single line of text. This behavior is similar to
Microsoft Word.
WORKAROUND
You can justify a single line of text in Publisher by using one of the
following methods.
If you want to create a single line in a Publisher text frame and have
that one line justified, use the following methods.
Method 1: Use the Copyfit Text Command- Create a text frame wide enough to accommodate the line of text.
- Type your text.
- On the Format menu, point to Copyfit Text and then click Best.
Method 2: Force Justification
You can force Microsoft Publisher into justifying your line of text.
- Create a text frame wide enough to accommodate the line of text.
- On the Formatting toolbar, click Justified. Or, press CTRL+J.
- Type your line of text, typing a space between each letter of each
word, and three spaces between each word. Do not press the SPACEBAR
after the last word.
- Press SHIFT+ENTER to insert a hard carriage return. This forces
Publisher to think the paragraph has more than one line.
