MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007last line alignment
When I justify a paragraph I do not want the last line centred or justified. How do i make the last line of a paragraph left-align? Adam I just typed several sentences into a PowerPoint 2007 slide. I then highlighted all but the last line and clicked the justify icon.

How do i make the last line of a paragraph left-align? Adam If the paragraph is left-aligned, the last line should be, too. What alignment do you have on the paragraph? Are you hitting Enter or Shift+Enter (or, perhaps, nothing at all) at the end of the last line of the paragraph?

The text is justified except the last line is odd. If last line is one word it is centred If last line is 2 words one word appears to exreme left and the other to the extreme right. You might want to copy the text and paste it into WORD. Presss ctrl / SHIFT and "8" to show what formatting has been applied. This will show extra spaces , tabs soft and hard newlines etc and may reveal the problem. Two words strtched to start and end of line is not abnormal thought it's office having it's best shot at aligning text.

Hi John, When I cut and paste text from powerpoint to word and reveal formatting it shows that I have line breaks rather than paragraph breaks at the end of each line. I can find and replace line breaks for paragraph breaks in Word but when I paste back into powerpoint they become line breaks again even if i keep source formatting. I wrote previously ... > If last line is one word it is centred > If last line is 2 words one word appears to exreme left and the other to the extreme right."

Adam Olive This is strange behavior. Where are you copying the text? Is it a Word document, or a website, or what? Also, out of curiosity, are you pasting into a textbox or into a placeholder?
