= SUMMARY =

When inserting a tab at the beginning of a line of a paragraph that is fully justified, the previous line may become unjustified.

For example, when you create a fully justified paragraph and start the third line of the paragraph with a tab (by putting the cursor at the beginning of the third line and pressing the TAB key), this will result in the previous line (line 2) becoming unjustified.

To solve this problem, put a soft return (press SHIFT+RETURN) at the end of the second line. Line 2 will return to being justified.
