PUB98: How to Justify a Single Line

WORKAROUND

You can justify a single line of text in Publisher by using one of the following methods.

If you want to create a single line in a Publisher text frame and have that one line justified, use the following methods.

Method 1: Use the Copyfit Text Command

1. Create a text frame wide enough to accommodate the line of text.
2. Type your text.
3. On the Format menu, point to Copyfit Text and then click Best.

Method 2: Force Justification

You can force Microsoft Publisher into justifying your line of text.

1. Create a text frame wide enough to accommodate the line of text.
2. On the Formatting toolbar, click Justified. Or, press CTRL+J.
3. Type your line of text, typing a space between each letter of each word, and three spaces between each word. Do not press the SPACEBAR after the last word.
4. Press SHIFT+ENTER to insert a hard carriage return. This forces Publisher to think the paragraph has more than one line.
