Why all the fuss? Why can’t I do it my way? I have covered all of these in detail in various longer articles which I’ll link to as we go along. And if you want to dig deeper and register for one of my workshops or Webinars, it’s all on my Website.This is a quick reference round-up how to and how not to covering how to stat a new line, how to start a new paragraph, how to start a new page and how to indent a paragraph in Word for Windows.

Spacing should be set at Normal.**But play around with this until you’re satisfied by changing everything in this step. Tick the Kerning for fonts box (on the Character Spacing tab, and set font size to match the size of the font in your paragraph* (kerning is the spacing between characters and each font set has its own kerning).Right-click on the text again, and click Format, Font.On the Indents and Spacing tab, click the drop-down next to Alignment, and click Justified, OK.Right-click on the text, and click Paragraph.Select the text you want to block justify.Have you ever tried to block justify your paragraphs (make your right margin even) in a Word document and ended up with an amateurish look of too much space between words?
