| The information in this article applies to: |
| - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c |
Summary:
When you choose the Vertical Alignment option in the Format Section dialog box in Word for Windows (Format Section Layout… in Word for Windows 2.0), the Justify option will not justify the section until a page break is inserted.
This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for Windows.
More Information:
According to the description in Help, the Justify option under Format Section should “expand the space between paragraphs to align the top line with the top margin and the bottom line with the bottom margin.” However choosing the Justify option will not take effect or cause text to look any different than the Top Vertical Alignment option until a page break is inserted.
This behavior is very similar to justifying a paragraph of text in Word for Windows. Word has no way of knowing how to justify the line until a paragraph mark is inserted or the line wraps on its own. Word for Windows has to know where the break is; either a paragraph mark, in the case of paragraph justifying, or a page break, in the case of vertical section justifying.
Note: Choosing Center in the Vertical Alignment option for a section will center a single column of text, but not multiple columns.
In Word for Windows 6.0, when you choose Page Setup from the File menu, select the Layout tab, and choose Vertical Alignment as Justified, the page will justify vertically without a page break inserted. Justification of text remains the same as described above in 2.0.
