Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Full justification

Hallo again, and thanks to everyone who has replied to my original post, 
privately or here.

First of all, I understand I may have unwittingly transgressed in the 
posting of it . If so, I do apologise.

As to the substantive points: what I think I've learnt is that (a) yes, I 
had missed something (b) that something being that the alignment buttons are 
more limited than going the menu route, and specifically that the 'justify' 
button does not work on a single line, or the last line of a paragraph, 
whereas (I think) the other three buttons do.

The query originally came to my attention when I was laying out a 
'display'-style document, ie not continuous text. There was one line I 
wanted to spread as widely as possible without increasing the font size. 
Applying what I now know: the Justify command (via format menu) treats the 
individual words as sacrosanct, and just increases the spaces between them, 
which can look a bit odd. Manually adding spaces between letters overcomes 
this, and then inserting more spaces (to taste!) in what should be the gaps 
between 'words' progressively reduces the 'value' of the spaces within the 
'words'.

Once again, many thanks
