Words are spaced so each line is equal in length?

Question

In books when there is one straight vertical line where the text ends on the right side of the page.
How do you do that on microsoft word?

Answer 1

It's called justified. On the styles and formatting toolbar is where you can find the icon. It's by the other icons for center, left and right justified text.



You can also highlight the text, right click and choose paragraph then adjust the alignment to justify.

Answer 2

If you are formatting your manuscript to send to an agent or publisher, do NOT right justify it. Leave the right edge ragged.



If you right justify, it spaces the words (and sometimes letters, too) out awkwardly and makes reading it irritating (which is why most, if not all, agents and editors prefer it left ragged).



In printed books with right justification, the print type is small and the spacing is not nearly as awkward.



Also for manuscript formatting, many prefer that you avoid end of line hyphens, widows, and orphans.

Answer 3

Look at the toolbar where you see how to center text. Click on the one that just looks like straight lines, equal in length.

Answer 4

It's called justify.

The default is usually Left Aligned. There's Right Aligned and Center as well.

On word, there are usually just little icons that have something like:



....

.....

....

.



for left aligned.



[i can't do right or centered here, yahoo won't let me space it that way, sorry. :[ ]





and



.....

.....

.....

.....



for justify.





Or you could go into Format>>Paragraph>>Alignment>>Justifed

on the little format option at the top.





This is all for word '03 though. I haven't gotten '08 yet. :[

Answer 5

It's something called "Justify." It's in the upper-right hand area of the toolbars in Word. It should be grouped with Align Center, Right, and Left.

Answer 6

Justify (Ctrl + J) on MSWord 2007, and if you want to draw a line, then the drawing toolbar.

Answer 7

you may not use those instructions on something that may not a WordCount merchandise. they are particular to the WordCount type and subsequently are in basic terms meant for those WordCount gadgets. What you may do is create a WordCount merchandise, particularly an array, and then use those instructions on the WordCount merchandise.

Answer 8

Answer 9

With use of the margins on either side.
