PUB2000: How to Justify a Single Line

This article was previously published under Q212525

On This Page

SUMMARY

Microsoft Publisher does not justify the last line in a paragraph. In addition, if you have only a single line of text in a text frame, Publisher does not justify that single line.

Publisher is designed to justify all lines of text in a paragraph except the last line or a single line of text. This behavior is similar to Microsoft Word.

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 Autofit 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 Autofit Text, and then click Best Fit.
NOTE: Using this method will either increase or decrease the size of the text to accommodate the Best Fit feature.

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. Press SHIFT+ENTER to insert a hard carriage return. This forces Publisher to end one line and begin another without starting a new paragraph.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
