Full Justify one line of text

[CPiper]

I am recreating a form in Microsoft Word that my company
uses very often. At present we only have it in primted
form for use if you fill everything in by hand. My
department has decided to try and put the form in an
electronic format to interface with an access database
(Word was the natural choice).

My problem is this, the majority of the lines are
numbered and the paragraphs following the numbers are
justified. I am sure that was easy for the printer, but
in order to accomplish this in Word one has to combine
all the lines as a paragraph and in order to create a
full justify. Is there a way to Full justify one line
only in Word?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi CPiper,

Only sort of. If you press Shift+Enter at the end of the
text you insert a new line (vs. new paragraph). When a
paragraph is formatted as "justified", the text in the line
will spread to fill the page.

Yes, you'd have an extra line in the form field. But if no
text is typed into it there shouldn't be a problem when
printing...

Or would it work just as well to use line numbering?
