Before (top) and after (bottom) using glyph scaling in justified text
Glyph scaling can help in achieving even justification; however, values more than 3% from the 100% default value
may result in distorted letter shapes. Unless you are trying to achieve a special effect, it’s best to keep glyph scaling to
values most people won’t notice, such as 97–100–103.
To set justification for a single word
In narrow columns, a single word occasionally appears by itself on a line. If the paragraph is set to full justification,
a single word on a line may appear to be too stretched out. Instead of leaving such words fully justified, you can center
them or align them to the left or right margins.
1 Click an insertion point in a paragraph or select the paragraphs you want to affect.
2 Choose Justification in the Paragraph palette menu.
3 For Single Word Justification, choose Full Justify, Align Left, Align Center, or Align Right, and then click OK.
To use a flush space with justified text
Using a flush-space character adds a variable amount of space to the last line of a fully justified paragraph, between
the last word and an end-of-story character from a decorative font. Used with nonjustified text, the flush space
appears as a normal word space. In justified text, it expands to absorb all available extra space on the last line. Using
a flush space can make a dramatic difference in the way the entire paragraph is formatted by the Adobe Paragraph
Composer.
