Vertical justification

[Terri N]

Two questions:
1. I'm wondering if there is a way to tell Word to "top" align the last
page of a section that is vertically justified, without making a separate
section of the last page (there are end notes involved and I don't think I
can split a chapter into two sections without trouble in that area).

2. Even though I have indicated vertical justification, some pages are as
much as .5 inch shorter than other pages. I can't figure out why this is
happening, or what is different about one page from another. Some pages
spread out properly to fill the page, and others don't. Any ideas on what to
look for?

If you use Shift+Enter instead of Enter to end each paragraph, the text will
all be "top" aligned.

Thank you for your helpful answer on my first question, Doug, and for the
head's up on the other question. I'll go take a look. I had asked to be
notified if I received an answer but didn't get the usual e-mail telling me I
had a response. Appreciate it!

Okay, I gave this a try this morning, but ran into another snag. The page I
was trying has the remainder of one paragraph at the top, then a heading that
has 15 pt before it and 6 pt after it, and then two more paragraphs. The
paragraphs are horizontally justified, but the heading is not.

So in using the shift-enter, all the paragraphs wanted to take on the same
formatting. My little heading spread itself out over the full line. And the
spacing between the heading and the paragraphs disappeared.

I can see where shift-enter will work great when it is only similarly
formatted paragraphs involved, but is there a trick to handling the above
situation?

The space before and after is going to be a bit of a problem, but the left
alignment of the heading can be achieved by using Ctrl+Shift+Space to insert
the space between each word of the heading.

You can also override justification by pressing Tab before Shift+Enter.
