MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / April 2008Ending a paragraph
I have a paragraph which has been ended by being spread out to fill the border of the page, rather than finishing with the correct space between each words. Could someone tell me how to remove the extra large gaps?  SignatureMicrosoft questioning The paragraph probably ends with a Manual Line Break (Shft+Return) instead of a Paragraph Mark. Use Ctrl+Shft+8 or the ¶ icon to toggle and if you have a Left arrow instead of the Pilcrow, there's the culprit. For more information see: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm Hope this helps DeanH > I have a paragraph which has been ended by being spread out to fill the > border of the page, rather than finishing with the correct space between each > words. > Could someone tell me how to remove the extra large gaps? Thank you very much. I used ctrl shft and 8; I then pressed return in this and it worked, without this option selected the line was spread out again.

If you do want the Manual Line Break but not the expansion, Tools, Options, Compatibility, check the "Don't expand character spaces on the line ending Shift-Return" DeanH > I have a paragraph which has been ended by being spread out to fill the > border of the page, rather than finishing with the correct space between each > words. > Could someone tell me how to remove the extra large gaps? Or, if you do want lines ending in a line break to be expanded in most instances but not in a specific one, you can insert a tab character before the line break. SignatureSuzanne S.
