SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word, when a paragraph is formatted with the Justify format, white space (tabs or multiple spaces) placed in the paragraph will cause problems with the text alignment.



CAUSE
In full justification, Word controls the text alignment by adjusting the spacing between words. Extra spacing can cause unusual alignment.



WORKAROUND
Use paragraph indents to control the left and right alignment of text. If columnar alignment of data is required, use a table.

Additional query words: justified
