= SUMMARY =

The Works Word Processor does not justify the last line of a paragraph, or a paragraph that is only one line long. This feature was by product design to prevent a short line from being stretched to fill the margins.

If a paragraph does not end with a paragraph mark (for example, it ends at a page break or with an end-of-line character), the last line will be justified no matter how short it is.

To view end-of-line or paragraph marks, choose Show All Characters from the Options menu (ALT+O, L). For more information on special characters, please see Page 92 in the “Microsoft Works Reference.”

Use the following procedure to justify the last line in a paragraph:


 * 1) Position the cursor to the right of the last character in the line.
 * 2) Press Shift+ENTER to create an end-of-line mark.

Use the following procedure to justify a single line:


 * 1) Follow Steps 1 and 2 above.
 * 2) Move the cursor back up to the beginning of the line you want to justify.
 * 3) Press the F8 key four times to highlight the line plus the end-of-line character.
 * 4) Choose Format Justify from the menu (ALT+T, J).
