Recently installed Office XP over Office 97. We have an Oracle database that uses Word for typed letters. On some of the recently typed Word documents, Word formats them as if fully justified, but instead of spacing words on a line to make the end of the word even with the right margin, it truncates the word and puts the rest of it on the next line, sometimes just one letter. The left justification button has no effect on existing type or newly typed letters.
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks

Hi =?Utf-8?B?RExFRU1T?=,

on a line to make the end of the word even with the right margin, it truncates the word and
puts the rest of it on the next line, sometimes just one letter. The left justification
button has no effect on existing type or newly typed letters.

Whenever I've seen this problem, it's been due to the font used for the formatting. Mostly,
a "symbol" rather than a "text" font. If these texts haven't been formatted with Times New
Roman or Arial, try applying one of these to a couple of paragraphs displaying the behavior
and see if it changes? If it does, you'll know to look for the problem in the font.
