How do I fully justify text in a table cell?

[Maeb]

I would like to be able to justify text in a cell so that the text is aligned
with both left and right margins. If there are two lines in one cell, the
first line having 3 words and the second line having 4 words, I would like
the first line to increase the size of the space between the words to fit
within the same margins as the second line.

Apply a "Justify" alignment to the content of the cell.
To apply this to all cells, select all cells and apply the justify alignment
(Format > Paragraphs.. > Alignment or from the toolbar, the last of the 4
alignment button that come after the 3 font attribute buttons).

While your cursor is in that cell, click on the "Justify" button on the
Formatting toolbar.

If pressing Ctrl+J does not do this for you, check to make sure that there
are not paragraph breaks between the lines. Note, however, that for
headings, centering will look better, especially in narrow columns, where
justification can leave excessively large spaces between words.

 

[Klaus Linke]

If you want to force justification on a single paragraph, you might try
"distributed" alignment (Ctrl+Shift+J).
It's usually used only for Asian text though, and spreads out the letters a
bit.

I sometimes use it to fit text exactly in a given space, and then increase
the font size until it looks nice.

To remove it, just apply some other alignment (left, justified...).
