Can anyone tell me how to Full justify text within a text block so that the shorter sentences (ie the last line of a paragraph) don't Force Justify?
I'm using the correct justify (full), but it is stretching out the last line as if it's a force justify. It's driving me nuts. Help!!!
Turn on "Show non-printing characters" and see what they are. If you are holding down the shift key when you strike enter key you will get newline (I think) and not new paragraph

You should be clicking on the Full Justify icon and not the Force Full icon. (See below). If you are using the Full and not the Force Full, then use the F8 reset to restore to factory defaults. (Press & hold F8 while starting CorelDRAW, and answer "Yes" to resetting to factory defaults.)

Thanks for the suggestion Hugh! I am using Full (not Force Full) and I reopened and restored to factory defaults as you recommended. Unfortunately it is still giving me the Force Full response.
I created a new text box with a single paragraph and it gave me the Full formatting, where the last line in the paragraph was left alone and not force justified. But when I use a single text box with multiple paragraphs, the last line in each paragraph is force justified.
Anything else I can try? Thanks again!!
A shot in the dark. Have you tried applying none in the justify and then applying full.
Thanks for the idea but that didn't work.
I wonder if it has something to do with how I'm pressing enter between paragraphs? Maybe it's not recognizing that I want one paragraph to end the the next to start. The last line of the final paragraph in the text box remains left justified, but the last line of the other paragraphs do not.
Any other suggestions? :) Pretty please
Well now it's working so I'm not exactly sure what showing the non-printing characters did but THANKS!! :)

So you could verify that you were using Paragraph return and not New Line, New Line. Note what happens in my example. The first line has one NL and the first paragraph has NL,NL. resulting in the stretched last paragraph line. I was not sure what you had. New lIne = the double < symbol.
