Note: Because the last line of text in a paragraphis often shorter than the other lines, it may not appear to bejustified. To justify the last line in a justified paragraph, placethe insertion point at the end of the last line, and then pressShift-Enter (Shift-Return on a Mac). Use theEnter key on the main keyboard, not on the keypad. Thiswill insert a soft return (i.e., a non-paragraph-ending return). Beaware that justifying a very short line of text may look odd becauseof the large amount of space that will be created between the words.
