PP 2000: Justify in a Text Box

[Jen]

I have an event program that's been set up in Power Point. There's a photo on
the top left, then a text box next to that to include that person's bio. Then
there is a full-width text box that runs underneath the photo and top text
box, in which the bio continues (I hope this makes sense).

I don't see an option in Power Point 2000 to have the text continue from one
text box to the next, so they are set up as two different boxes, each with
justified text. However, I can't get the last line of the top box to justify
(it breaks in the middle of a sentence). I thought I could trick it by
inserting a period (in white font) then a carriage return, and this works
sometimes but not every time. Any suggestions for how to artificially justify
this last line? Or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Jen

Jen,
Not sure if I understand your question correctly. But have you tried
pressing shift+enter after the last line. That should justify the last line.

When you justify a paragraph the last line is normally left aligned (this is
also true in eg Word.) The only solution I can think of is to insert a dummy
word that continues on to the next line and make it white.
