Using SHIFT+ENTER Within a Justified Paragraph

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

When you are using SHIFT+ENTER to create a new line within a justified paragraph, the line of text justifies regardless of how many words of text are on the line.

Word for Windows doesn't calculate a "hotspot" to determine when text will actually justify. For example, some word processors require text to fill 75 percent of a line before text will justify. In this case, Word will justify any amount of text.

To see this on the screen:

1. In a new paragraph formatted as justified, type

   just text




2. Press SHIFT+ENTER, and the text will appear as:

   
         just                                          text 




3. If you press only ENTER, the text will appear as:

   
         just text
