How to get last paragraph line not to cover whole line?

How do I get the last line of a justified paragraph not to cover the whole
line? In other words, if there are just four words in the last line, I want
it ti line up at the left and not appear with large spaces between each word.

And in case you've done that and the last line is still justified to
both margins, then the problem is that you've formatted it with
"Distribute" (Ctrl+Shift+J) instead of "Justify" (Ctrl+J), or else you
ended it with a line break (Shift+Enter) instead of a paragraph break
(Enter). Click in the paragraph and press Ctrl+J to see if that fixes
it.
