Funny quirk with Office XP Word justification alignment 2

[Ash57]

I have been typing a document to find out the alignment needs to be "justify" when I am 10 pages into it.

Simple fix I though. Highlight the text and press the justify text button on the toolbar. Here is the glich. Any short sentences get spaced out accross the entire page, making my document look very unprofessional.

Is there a way to get those short sentences to stop from stretching themselves accross the page?

Thanks in advance.

Doh..! I guess I may have spoke too soon. I did that and it helped a little. It is strange, there are lines that are the last of a paragraph with 3 to 4 words and it looks ok. However when I have like 6 or 7 it stretches it accross the whole lenght of the paragraph.

Guess I cant really post an example.

It sounds like you're hitting SHIFT enter, instead of ENTER at the end of those lines?

Or, if you're pasting from a website or something, it puts line breaks instead of paragraph returns.
